Our Earth: a planet to be protected
Online: participation upon registration a
INGV researchers meet the students and teachers of the 17 Sicilian schools participating in the "Futuri Cittadini Responsabili 2.0" project, to reflect together on the importance of our planet, rethinking the relationship we have with it in order to find new solutions to protect the environment and its natural resources.
Indeed, with the ongoing climate emergency, it is important to understand what we can do to preserve the Earth and our own species. The dialogue between politics, research and school on these global issues, therefore, becomes indispensable. Among the connected guests, Angela Foti Vice President of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, Andrea Segrè of the University of Bologna, Luca Gazzara President of the Corleonese-Alto Belice Sinister River Contract Forum, Sergio Marino Councilor for the Environment of the Municipality of Palermo, Antonina Sidoti President of the ITS Albatros Foundation of Messina and Grazia La Fauci responsible for the InFEA node (Information, Training and Environmental Education) of the Metropolitan City of Messina.
Among the guests also the students of IT Agrario “P. Cuppari” who will talk about their experience at City Nature Challenge 2022, Cluster Biodiversità Italia, Messina.

Scientists (and) mad
Online: live streaming on RaiPlay
In the third edition of #OnePeopleOnePlanet, the multimedia marathon for Earth Day, this year meets physicists, climatologists, astronomers, geologists, biologists, naturalists, zoologists to talk about the state of health of the planet.
From Fuksas' Nuvola to Rome, a 14-hour television relay with hundreds of guests from all over the world live on RaiPlay and, delayed, on Vaticannews.va.
A great media event to launch a strong message of hope to the world and an important call to action for the protection of the planet with young people at the centre, the real protagonists of the great environmental issue. The underlying theme of the programme, as for the entire Marathon, will be the Mediterranean and, by extension, water: the main resource of the planet, essential for the very survival of the biosphere. The INGV experts will intervene with interventions on the phenomena that occur on our planet and in the Mediterranean where, among other natural events, it has the task of monitoring the formation of tsunamis.
