- Gender violence, gender identity and anthropogenic action on the environment.
- Experiences of social and environmental adaptation
- Northern Italy, between economic primacy and Mediterranean climate hot spot (Po Valley, Alpine and coastal areas)
- Venice between potential environmental laboratory and striking example of unsustainable management
- Italian public transport between inefficiencies, unaffordable costs and marginalization of young people. Virtuous international examples.
- European continent: temperatures rising faster than in the rest of the planet. Where and how to live.
