EVENT

The Climate Crisis: Constitutional, Criminal, and Engineering Perspectives in Light of the 2030 Agenda Goals

The event will take place on October 9, 2024, at the Auditorium of the former Purità Church, Department of Law, with sessions scheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

We will explore the criminal penalties currently in place for environmental crimes, assessing the need to update the legal framework to effectively respond to the new challenges posed by climate change. Concrete examples of the application of environmental criminal law will be presented.

The third session will focus on the engineering aspects of the climate crisis. In this part of the conference, environmental engineers and researchers will present innovative technological and engineering solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. The latest innovations aimed at promoting sustainable development and environmental engineering projects that are making a difference worldwide will be discussed.

The professors organizing this conference are Prof. Ida Angela Nicotra, Prof. Federico Vagliasindi, Prof. Grazia Maria Vagliasindi, and Prof. Paolo Roccaro.
