climate change and other environmental crises becomes increasingly critical,
many countries have found it necessary to amend their national constitutions to
strengthen existing provisions for environmental protection, and even introduce
new ones. This past February, <span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">the
Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament passed legislation to amend two
crucial Articles in the Constitution to align the country with the rest of Western
Europe’s progressive vision on climate intervention. Fausto Corvino and Mitja
Stefancic discuss the promise and challenges inherent in this significant move,
particularly as the energy fallout from the on-going Russia-Ukraine conflict causes complex and worrying problems for Italy.</span></font> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="" size="4"><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:large"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Please take a look and join the discussion on RED listserv and the website discussion forum. The authors are copied here in case you would like to contact them directly. </font></span><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="" size="4"><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:large"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:large"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Best,</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:large"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:large"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Pallav</font></span></p></div></div>
