AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 minutes agoClimate Extremes & Disaster Risk: A huge waterspout narrowly missed a tourist boat off San Michele di Pagana near Rapallo as Italy was hit by deadly flash floods and storms; Veneto and Friuli saw 100–200mm of rain and a yellow alert. Heat & Alpine Change: Europe’s high-altitude summer ski season is collapsing as unprecedented heat and lack of overnight freezing force resorts to shut lifts, with organized lift-access skiing absent across the Alps for the first time in years. Energy Policy Watch: The European Court of Auditors says REPowerEU is stalling: member states have committed only €54.3bn of the €300bn needed, leaving the plan largely on paper. Renewables in Italy: GreenIT (Eni’s Plenitude JV) commissioned 19MW of solar in Piedmont on reclaimed mining sites, generating about 30GWh/year. Urban Heat Solutions: A “3-30-300” approach is highlighted as too few city residents live in areas meeting tree-and-green-space targets to cool streets and squares. Biodiversity/Design for Circularity: Italy’s Myplant & Garden reports floriculture and nursery production hitting a new record (€3.52bn in 2025, +8.1% y/y).
