Rome implements ecological Sundays and hosts Climate Pride parade

Rome has launched its 2026-2027 program for ecological Sundays, aimed at reducing air pollution. Starting November 15, 2026, the city will implement a total ban on internal combustion engine vehicles within the Fascia Verde perimeter. The program includes four additional dates: December 6, 2026, January 24, 2027, February 21, 2027, and March 21, 2027. To encourage community engagement, the city will host urban events featuring music, theater, and ecological workshops in the Prati area.

Separately, the third edition of Climate Pride is scheduled for November 14, 2026, in Rome. Starting from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, the street parade will involve over eighty associations, unions, and social movements. The initiative calls for climate justice, a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, and equitable resource use. The event coincides with international climate action days and serves as a voice for activists ahead of the COP 31 summit in Antalya, Turkey.
