The Italian platform on hydrogeological instability - IdroGEO, created by ISPRA, allows the consultation, downloading and sharing of data, maps, reports, documents from the Inventory of Landslide Phenomena in Italy - IFFI, national landslide hazard maps and floods and risk indicators.

The GeoSciencesIR project began in October 2022, of which ISPRA is a partner, the new research infrastructure for the Italian Network of Geological Services (RISG) which will make the necessary data, services and tools available to regional geological services and beyond for carrying out monitoring and control functions in the various fields of Earth sciences. To what risks due to geological events such as landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, are we exposed in the area in which we live? GeoSciencesIR will answer these and other questions.

On October 25th in Genoa, on the occasion of the 40th Annual Assembly of the ANCI, the SNPA Report "Land consumption, territorial dynamics and ecosystem services" will be presented
