L’articolo 37 della Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Ue: un impegno ambientale disatteso

The European Union has enacted a comprehensive body of legislation aimed at protecting the natural environment. Each member State has transposed the EU directives and adapted their national laws to align with the guidelines set in Brussels. However, this rhetoric of sustainability does not consistently translate into local territorial policies. The gap between principles and practice is particularly evident in mountain regions, where the growing pressure from tourism and major sporting events contrasts with the geomorphological and landscape fragility of these areas: conditions that would require a form of protection that is both informed and non-negotiable with economic and political interests.
