Peace with Nature: Research, Organizations and Institutions together
Thanks to its strategic position in the Mediterranean, its varied geomorphology and the extraordinary diversity of habitats, Italy is the European country with the greatest variety of living species and the highest rate of endemic species.
Furthermore, Italy is one of the few nations in the world to have established the defense of biodiversity as a fundamental principle in its Constitution. In February 2022, in fact, the Constitutional Law of 11 February 2022, no. 1 was approved by Parliament, which recognizes an express importance to the protection of the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems in the part dedicated to Fundamental Principles.
The contemporary challenges presented by the biodiversity crisis, which include efforts to address the direct factors that are at the root of the crisis itself, such as the destruction and degradation of habitats, the excessive extraction of biological resources, pollution, invasive alien species and climate change, transcend national borders.

Therefore, international cooperation activities, both through multilateral environmental agreements and the acquis communautaire, are essential to address the complex and interconnected issues related to biodiversity and environmental sustainability. These cooperation tools not only facilitate the adoption of globally coordinated measures, but also provide a framework for the definition and implementation of national policies.
Recently, from 25 to 27 February 2025, the second part of the negotiations of the sixteenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP-16) was held in Rome, as a follow-up to the session in Cali, Colombia, held from 21 October to 1 November 2024, whose theme was “making peace with nature”. This meeting aimed to negotiate and approve a series of decisions to operationalize the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), adopted at COP-15.
On March 18, at the Botanical Garden of Rome, a workshop entitled “Peace with Nature. Research, entities and institutions together” will be held, jointly promoted by MASE, ISPRA and NBFC, with the aim of sharing the experiences gained in the field of biodiversity and strengthening the national network in view of the future challenges of our country.
The day will be open to all stakeholders, including ministries, administrations, management bodies, environmental protection institutes and agencies, research centers and institutes, the scientific community, universities, non-governmental organizations, trade associations and private individuals, interested in discussing the shared actions necessary for the health of ecosystems, on whose state human well-being depends, both for present and future generations.
