PCTO "Climate change: understand to act" concluded

The PCTO "Climate change: understand to act" ended on Friday, April 11th. The students of the 5 BIO of the Istituto Superiore “Carducci-Volta-Pacinotti” of Piombino were able to observe the impact of climate change on the coast between Pisa and Livorno, the effects of the increase in extreme events on coastal morphology and to reflect on the costs, not only economic, of these episodes. The comparison between the highly anthropized stretches of coast and those where a healthy dune system is still present, allowed us to understand how in many cases human protection interventions do not have the same strength as healthy natural systems. The students then presented the product developed during the PCTO with the aim of raising awareness among their peers on the topic of climate change, trying to draw attention to what is really happening around us.
