“Una foresta è molto più di quello che vediamo”. Climate change, sostenibilità, resilienza ambientale e sociale.

Climate change puts at risk the point 15 of the Sustainable Development Goals (protecting, restoring and favoring the sustainable use of the terrestrial ecosystem), causing damage and global ecological and humanitarian emergencies. Desertification and deforestation are the main phenomena related to wildifres, epidemics, droughts and famines, intensive farming. The decision-makers are not very careful about the risks of climate change, so public opinion and media. The colossal catastrophes of wildfires or natural disasters create dismay, but hardly reflect. There is no perception that migrations defined as "economic" are mainly "climatic". To mitigate climate change, it is necessary to forestry, support the resilience and biodiversity. This strategy needs international funds for projects studied at a local level. Sustainable agriculture must be supported, and not only rural populations, but also the inhabitants of the cities will suffer less wildfires, landslides, floods or epidemics. An extraordinary case study is China, which in 5 years has revolutionized ecological and social policies that favored rural depopulation. An enormous forestry work in China contrasts desertification and creates income and future. Small farmers are also helped. Robotics and digital universe help actions and forecasts to manage wildfires and other risks. But the positive results of green economy can only be involved with local populations, starting with the indigenous people. This is the answer to the fears of neoluddism, the loss of work induced by robotics: climate change mitigation and sustainable agriculture and forest management will give an answer to the less skilled workers today expelled.
