Università Roma Tre

The thematic area "Legality and environment" will investigate the characters and dysfunctions emerging in the relationship between legality and environmental heritage protection. The training course proposed to students, PhD students and other interested parties will bring to the attention of the learners the emerging issues in the area considered through the analysis of cases that will be critically discussed with an interdisciplinary method. In particular, the perspectives that will be employed are the technical-scientific, the legal-regulatory and the political-social ones. With regard to the contents of the training proposal, after an initial reconstruction of a more theoretical framework aimed at outlining what the general legal principles applicable to environmental protection are, as inferable from the Constitution (also in the light of the recent reform introduced with law 1/2022) and from the regulations in force, a number of cases will be examined from which the main threats and the most recurrent environmental risks emerge, with specific reference to the territorial context of the Lazio Region and the territorial area of the Metropolitan City of Rome. Subsequently, space will be given to the complex relations between public institutions and civil society with respect to the protection of the environment, with the aim of highlighting the relevance of active and scientifically aware citizenship with respect to the implementation of policies to combat environmental crime, the configurability of environmental assets as common goods and the practices of reusing assets confiscated from organised crime.
