    Description: The themes addressed by geoethics are becoming central to all scientific debate. A growing number of scientists now consider geoethics as an effective tool to increase, in the scientific community and society as a whole, the awareness of local and global environmental problems that humanity faces. Geoethics deals with ethical, social and cultural aspects related to geosciences. Geoethics addresses fundamental issues such as the prudent and sustainable use of geo-resources, management of natural hazards, defence of geoheritage as a common value to be protected and enhanced. But above all, geoethics aims to raise, in the community of geoscientists, their awareness of responsibilities in conducting scientific and professional activity. In order to extend this awareness to the whole of civil society and also to foster the recognition of the usefulness of geosciences in daily life, geoscience communication should be recognized as a fundamental activity connected with scientific and professional work, since geoscience knowledge is a tool to contribute to the construction of social knowledge for human communities. But today what is the role played by geosciences in the scientific mass culture? Are the geosciences part of a collective “cultural heritage”? Do the publishing world and media offer adequate space to geosciences? Through the analysis of two Italian case studies, the authors highlight the critical features of the relationship between geoscientists and the media and try to suggest some actions that are useful to make the relationship between these two separate fields more functional, with the goal of bringing citizens closer to geosciences and increasing the awareness of the individual and collective responsibility towards the Earth.

    Description: Much mitigation-related governance activity is evident in a range of sectoral systems, and regarding particular governance functions. However, there is a tendency for this activity to relate to the easiest functions to address, such as "learning and knowledge building", or to take place in somewhat limited "niches". Across all sectoral systems examined, the gap between identified governance needs and what is currently supplied is most serious in terms of the critical function of setting rules to facilitate collective action. A lack of "guidance and signal" is also evident, particularly in the finance, extractive industries, energy-intensive industries, and buildings sectoral systems. Of the sectoral systems examined, the power sector appears the most advanced in covering the main international governance functions required of it. Nevertheless, it still falls short in achieving critical governance functions necessary for sufficient decarbonisation. Significantly, while the signal is strong and clear for the phase-in of renewable energy, it is either vague or absent when it comes to the phase-out of fossil fuel-generated electricity. The same lack of signal that certain high-carbon activities need actively to be phased out is also evident in financial, fossil-fuel extractive industry and transport-related sectors. More effective mitigation action will need greater co-ordination or orchestration effort, sometimes led by the UNFCCC, but also from the bodies such as the G20, as well as existing (or potentially new) sector-level institutions. The EU needs to re-consider what it means to provide climate leadership in an increasingly "polycentric" governance landscape.

    Description: Combating climate change requires a fundamental simultaneous transformation of various sectoral systems that are key to the functioning of our economies and societies, such as energy, industry, transport, housing, and agriculture. This report by the COP21 RIPPLES project examines sector-specific challenges to decarbonisation and what contribution international governance could make to overcoming these challenges. Taking a sectoral perspective, the report identifies the key governance challenges that exist internationally towards the deep transformations required, and specifies the resulting key governance functions to be fulfilled by means of international cooperation/international institutions. To this end, the report first clarifies a number of key concepts, including international (climate) governance, international and transnational institutions, institutional complexes and poly-centricity. It then derives a number of functions that international institutions can fulfil from the relevant literature: providing guidance and signals, setting rules, providing transparency and accountability, providing capacity building, technology and finance, and facilitating knowledge and learning. This is the basis for an investigation into the key governance challenges and the potential of international governance in 14 key sectoral systems.

    Description: AA. VV., (2020). Progetto “Sale Operative Integrate e Reti di monitoraggio del futuro: l’INGV 2.0”. Report finale. Editors: L. Margheriti, F. Cirillo, F. Guglielmino, M. Moretti. Misc. INGV, 57: 1186, https://doi.org/10.13127/misc/57
    Description: Nel 2012, a seguito della sequenza sismica in Emilia Romagna, l’INGV decise di migliorare la sua comunicazione sulla sismicità in corso creando un blog di informazione sui terremoti. L’esigenza di avere un prodotto di immediato utilizzo orientò la scelta sulla piattaforma Wordpress119, così da poter sfruttare i vantaggi del cloud e di un hosting affidabile. In effetti, nei primi giorni di pubblicazione, il blog “INGVterremoti120” (Figura 1) ebbe milioni di visualizzazioni di pagina senza nessuna interruzione del servizio. Negli anni successivi il blog si è consolidato come punto di riferimento della comunicazione della ricerca sui terremoti e dell’informazione in emergenza sismica, arrivando a superare ventuno milioni di visualizzazioni di pagina con una media annua di oltre un milione di visualizzazioni. Sulla scia del successo di INGVterremoti, nel 2018 sono stati aperti altri due blog, uno per ciascun Dipartimento, sulla stessa piattaforma: “INGVambiente121” e “INGVvulcani122” (Figura 1), con le stesse modalità del primo anche se con finalità leggermente diverse. In particolare il blog INGVambiente, che non offre informazioni legate alle emergenze e alla comunicazione delle stesse, ha come scopo principale la divulgazione di tematiche care al Dipartimento Ambiente con la pubblicazione regolare di un post a settimana. In modo simile a INGVterremoti, il blog INGVvulcani pubblica articoli relativi allo stato di attività dei vulcani in Italia e nel mondo e approfondimenti sulla ricerca vulcanologica del Dipartimento Vulcani e sul monitoraggio vulcanico effettuato dall’Osservatorio Vesuviano e dall’Osservatorio Etneo. Grazie al continuo e tempestivo aggiornamento sull’attività in corso, è diventato riferimento costante per i cittadini dell’area napoletana, di quella etnea e delle Isole Eolie. Nel 2012, per realizzare il blog INGVterremoti fu scelto un tema gratuito presente in Wordpress chiamato “Mystique”, molto utilizzato in quel periodo. Il tema prevedeva un’interfaccia molto semplice che riportava in homepage gli ultimi articoli pubblicati in ordine cronologico. La pagina era completata da una serie di widget sul lato destro per interagire con i post pubblicati attraverso i Tag e le Categorie degli articoli e per i collegamenti a informazioni esterne (feed terremoti, social media, link siti web, ecc.). Un menù in alto nella Home conteneva l’informazione statica, composta da una serie di pagine e sottopagine. Nel 2018, per i nuovi blog di INGVvulcani e INGVambiente fu, invece, scelto il tema “Apostrophe 2” con un’interfaccia simile al tema “Mystique” ma all’epoca più moderna e attuale. Anche in questi blog la disposizione della Home prevedeva una serie di widget sulla destra e le pagine dell’informazione statica nel menù.
