“…The SEAP monitoring involves specific implementation steps to optimally fulfill the activities envisaged for the preparation of the relative specific reports. A first qualitative (and partly quantitative) analysis was presented, for all the 108 municipalities, in a previous paper, [32], following these steps: a) SEAP check and online update: identify and analyze the situation as a reference state; b) Start monitoring phase: implementation, reporting and monitoring check-list for Municipalities; c) Data collection: from check-list with the state of implementation of the actions; d) Elaboration and loading data on official "Covenant of Mayors" website; e) "Intervention Report": quantitative framework for municipalities which summarizes the progresses. This paper analyzes from a qualitative point of view SEAP updating, quantifying the single consumptions for each energy sector, drafting a new MEI for a specific year: the data analysis revealed the state of the implementation of the actions in 2017, in order to have a global analysis of municipal state and interventions and to verify the correct planning process to the 2020 goal CO2 reduction of 20%.…”

The increasing attention and sensitivity to issues related to Global Warming and Climate Change are strengthening the actions and policies related to Sustainable Development trying to give to this concept a clearer engineering dimension. Not only policymakers are involved in this aim and experts of interdisciplinary aspects but also the irreplaceable involvement of citizens which with their behavior can make the difference and get much closer to the seventeen goals of the sustainable development by 2030. In this framework, the Territorial Energetic and Environmental Planning provides operational solidity to the concept of Sustainable Development, giving more responsibility to local administrations (as it is due according to subsidiarity), with the Central Government that guarantees the respect of the principles of Subsidiarity and Glocalization. Province of L’Aquila (in the Abruzzo Region, Italy) has been a leading player of this program and, in 2012, has realized the ambitious goal of having favored a Covenant, joining all the 108 Municipalities of the Province. Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and Economics (DIIIE) of the University of L’Aquila designed the Sustainable Energy Action Plants (SEAP) and the monitoring phase of all the Municipalities through a scientific methodology which matched the goal of SEAPs with the dimension of the Municipality. In order to go deep into SEAP’s analysis, in this paper Authors describes the second uploading and necessary steps: a quantitative analysis of the Baseline Emission Inventory, the quantification of the SEAPs planning actions and the definition of the Monitoring Emission Inventory. This second step was done for the Municipality of Avezzano, one of the main Municipality of the L’Aquila Province, and gave the quantitative dimension of the CO2 emissions referred to the year 2017, compared with 2005 baseline emissions. The reduction commitments to be reached in 2020 defines the present distance to the target.

“…Even if initially it was designed for large urban centres, the Covenant of Mayors did not place requirements on the size of the signatories: everyone can participate, from small municipalities to major metropolitan areas. Today the Covenant of Mayors, which became global in 2017, has over 7500 local and regional authorities active in 121 countries, which can take advantage of the strength of a multi-stakeholder movement worldwide and the technical and methodological support offered by various dedicated offices Therefore, in the regulatory context of local public administrations, in anticipation of adherence to the Covenant of Mayors, the paper seeks to show and to highlight possible operational variations on risk mitigation, in particular against floods, for the negotiation and development of insurance contracts [11].…”

“…Some studies suggest that infrastructure resilience has a direct connection with the term resilience proposed by Holling and used in ecology [15]. This definition is generalized as the capacity of a system to absorb disturbances and to recover after a major disruption and to restart an activity on the territory [11].…”

“…Based on this, different methods have been proposed to assess resilience and the role of the infrastructural resilience within it. For instance, in the scientific work of Serre et al [11] urban/engineering networks able to propagate flood risk are proposed overall urban resilience, understood and identified into 3 main capacities namely: resistance capacity, absorption capacity and recovery capacity. A similar approach for looking at resilience was proposed by Bruneau et al [16] with the introduction of the "4Rs" (i.e.…”

“…According to [25] for physical systems can be identified in 2 types of measures namely hard and soft. The first referred to (semi)permanent installation within the area of the potential flood, the second ones are those relate to natural process for example like are tackling flood in terms of erosion decrease and or increase of roughness in the flooded areas [2], [11].…”

It is now well known that the world community must share the risks and hazards deriving from climate change and, more generally, from the environment. At the end of summer 2019, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) issued the World’s first dedicated climate resilience bond and this confirms the thesis according to which financial, social and economic instruments are always most necessary for the development of society and to avoid that natural hazards can, as occurred in the past, cause extremely heavy damage with negative repercussions on every single area of a community. Starting from the characteristics of resilience bonds and reinsurance, the paper seeks to highlight the potential advantages that would derive from a systematic application of recursive contractual instruments (smart contracts). The authors focused on the study of the projection of financial and quantitative data of resilience and catastrophe bonds on the basis of a determined timeline, a fixed insurance premium, mitigation works related and connected to the main contract (insurance). In particular, the study concerns the correlation of the urban implementation of risk mitigation works with the specific catastrophic flood risk. The paper implements a purely economic and social cost-benefit analysis (ACB) in the sense that includes, among others, a public approach and the goal of maximizing social welfare, according to efficiency economic criteria. In a nutshell, the authors highlight as the main result not only the possibility, but also the convenience of the joint and multidisciplinary application of the quantitative method (resilience bonds) to infrastructure resilience.
