On the issues of the environment and coastal protection is the eighth event organized by the Emilia-Romagna Region in the context of the important Rimini Green Technology Expo, in collaboration with the Technical Scientific Committee of Ecomondo, ISPRA, GNRAC (National Group for Research on the Coastal Environment), Legambiente (Italian environmentalist association) and CPMR (Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe).

It is an event that the Emilia-Romagna Region renews every year, starting from the 18th Edition, to promote the exchange of experiences, tools and innovative ideas, at Italian, European and international level, on coastal management and adaptation to climate change, and to keep the focus on the critical issues and possible solutions to increase the resilience of these territories, environmental ecosystems,  economic and social factors strongly linked to the Blue Economy and among the most exposed to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise.
