EU green directives and measures against "eco-vandals"

The episode will explore the EU green directives, i.e. the environmental policies promoted by the European Union for boost Member States to reduce the environmental impact of their economic activities and encourage sustainable development. These directives cover various sectors, including energy, transport and agriculture, and are intended to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon economy.

In parallel, they will be discussed the new measures of the Italian Government against "eco-vandals", i.e. those who commit acts of vandalism and damage the environment. Such measures could include harsher penalties and greater controls to prevent and contrast these phenomena.

The guests of the talk show will compare their opinions on the EU's green directives, evaluating the effectiveness of the policies adopted and discussing the possible implications for Italy. We will analyze the opportunities and challenges that these directives entail for our country, both from an economic and an environmental point of view. Furthermore, strategies to combat “eco-vandals” and to promote greater respect for the environment will be examined.
