After 4 years of dedicated effort, the LIFE CLIVUT project concluded on August 31st. The Urban Green Climate Change Strategy has been effectively executed in Portugal (Cascais), Italy (Perugia and Bologna), and Greece (Thessaloniki), as well as in their corresponding transfer cities.

The Municipality of Bologna has reopened the terms for submitting accessions to the public notice "Accession of events to the LIFE CLIVUT project."

The Municipality of Bologna has reopened the terms for submitting accessions to the public notice addressed to private companies "Expression of interest of companies to join the LIFE Clivut project."

The City of Bologna, in collaboration with the Villa Ghigi Foundation, is organizing the national conference of the LIFE Clivut (Climate Value of Urban Trees) project.

The event, organized at the conclusion of the project, aims to bring together representatives of European institutions, local authorities and international partners to transfer strategies for urban green design and management as a tool for climate change mitigation and adaptation

5 June is World Environment Day, an international event that unites various countries around the world in wanting to preserve the Earth's natural ecosystem.

We know very well the impact that microplastics give to the environment, they are so small but at the same time so present in everything related to the environmental chain and, above all, food.

How do the seeds germinate? Or, rather, how do they decide when it's time to sprout?

The Municipality of Bologna has published the public notice for the adhesion of events to the Life CLIVUT project dedicated to associations, non-profits, schools, institutions, private companies, etc.

Every small action we do in our daily lives impacts the environment, including this post or streaming the last episode of that TV series we like so much.

For years there has been talk of the expansion of the ozone hole and its progressive enlargement but, thanks to continuous research and changes in the lifestyle of the population, even if slowly, the notorious "irreversible catastrophe" is slowly regressing.

The University Malaysia Sabah and Xiamen University Malaysia conducted a literature research on algae, published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, which would explain the correlation between algae and the mitigation of global warming.

Heat waves are "extreme weather conditions that occur when very high temperatures are recorded for several consecutive days, often associated with high humidity, strong solar radiation and lack of ventilation" [source: salute.gov].

Those who have never heard of PM10, PM1, microns or particulates, are lying.

There are several reasons that explain the importance of these "green lungs" within urban areas: they absorb carbon, reduce pollution, produce oxygen, protect the soil by limiting the risk of landslides and mitigating the effects of floods, have a biodiversity among their foliage, represent a historical memory, filter rainwater through the roots etc.

A study by the Institute on Air Pollution and the Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences of the CNR shows how the pandemic and climate change, apparently different, instead have similar dynamics.

Climate change is defined as a series of long-term variations in temperatures and weather patterns.

Urban green refers to all areas, more or less expanded, which constitute a real green lung of cities, affecting the quality of life of all population groups.

In urban centers in summer there is often a microclimatic phenomenon, defined as " Urban heat island", which involves local overheating with an increase in temperatures of up to 4-5 ° C compared to peripheral areas or the countryside.

The practical part, on the other hand, will be devoted to illustrating the potential and functions of the Treedb Web App designed by CLIVUT, which is useful for the census and monitoring of trees. With the app, it is possible to know how much C02 different types of trees can store and how much PM10 they can absorb in 30 years.

117th Congress of the ITALIAN BOTANICAL SOCIETY, and the 8th International Plant Science Conference, was held from September 7 to 10 in Bologna. The Congress hosted internationally renowned speakers who are experts in various fields of botany: it was held in the facilities of the Alma Mater, Bologna Campus, at the Belmeloro Complex.

The team of the European LIFE CLIVUT Project is organizing starting in September, five free meetings open to everyone, dedicated to the management and monitoring of green areas, both public and private, and to the discovery of the Treedb Web App. The meeting will last about 2 hours, will consist of a theoretical part (1 hour) and a practical part (1 hour); and will be repeated at five different Associations in the city of Bologna.
