Scientific Results and the Challenge of Completion

A conference aimed at providing regions and communities with geological knowledge of the country

Making geological knowledge a shared asset, accessible to regions and communities—this is the objective of the conference “CARG on Display”

The two-day event will be dedicated to presenting the geological map sheets completed as part of the new phase of the CARG Program, which began in 2020. It serves as an opportunity to showcase the scientific results achieved and to underscore the urgent need to complete the Geological Map of Italy—at a scale of 1:50,000—across the entire national territory.

Over the years, a slight but steady increase in public green spaces has been observed in provincial capitals, alongside progress in urban reforestation. Urban reforestation initiatives continue to grow, with the creation of new woodland areas designed to develop naturally. But this is not enough. Greater and sustained efforts are needed to promote the development of green spaces and urban reforestation initiatives in order to address environmental crises, first and foremost climate change, and to improve the health and well-being of citizens
