Italy is notoriously prone to natural hazards and disaster risk due to its peninsular and mountainous conformation. The limited risk prevention and legacy of uncontrolled urban expansion contribute to amplifying the risks and their impacts. Recent FEEM & CMCC research has empirically estimated,...

This paper estimates the direct and indirect socio-economic impacts of the 2000 flood that took place in the Po river basin (Italy) using a combination of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model and Spatial and Multi-Criteria Analysis. A risk map for the whole basin is generated as a function...

In this paper we developed and tested an integrated methodology for assessing direct and indirect economic impacts of flooding. The methodology combines a spatial analysis of damage to physical stocks with a general economic equilibrium approach using a regionally-calibrated (to Italy) version...

Water security features prominently among the grand challenges of humanity in a quest for sustainable future. Southern European countries, Italy in particular, are highly vulnerable to droughts. In this article we estimate the drought-related losses in agriculture in terms of reduced yield and...
