Ministerial Decree No. 170, issued on August 7, 2020, establishes the strategic policy and programming framework for Italy’s International Environmental Cooperation. Aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement, the decree defines the Ministry's thematic priorities (i.e., climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and circular economy transition), while prioritizing geographic interventions in the Mediterranean, Africa, and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). It serves as the legal and administrative basis for the negotiation of bilateral Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and the allocation of national funds toward global sustainable development projects and environmental diplomacy.
