Local initiatives in Italy have focused on environmental maintenance and the preservation of cultural and natural heritage.

In early September, community-led cleanup efforts took place in Paterno Calabro and the Pordenone region. In Paterno Calabro, the municipality held its fifth ‘Ecological Day’ to maintain public spaces, while the ‘Puliamo i quartieri’ project in Borgomeduna targeted litter along the Meduna riverbanks, collecting various waste materials including glass, plastic, and bulky items.

Subsequent efforts shifted toward heritage and education. In Randazzo, the ‘Anthropos’ project was announced to promote traditional Sicilian artisanal knowledge through exhibitions and dialogues. Meanwhile, in Lombardy, ecological volunteer guards underwent training in ‘Heritage Interpretation’ to better connect citizens with natural environments and enhance the protection of natural heritage.
