Compulsory insurance for extreme weather events and construction ban in areas with very high landslide risk also needs to be updated every four years the scientific report on the risks of climate change and must also be updated to 2013 plans hydrogeological structure of river-basin district, forthcoming constitution: these are some of the measures contained in the draft strategic lines for the protection of the territory that the environment minister, Corrado Clini, sent to the Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning (CIPE).

According to the Minister for the plan to protect the territory it takes about 40 billion for fifteen years. As announced by the Minister Clini, the insurance will be required to cover the risks associated with extreme weather events, goods and facilities of both the State and the private sector will be mandatory only for homes and buildings in high-risk areas.

Its obligation arises from the need to allow anyone who lives or works in the hydrogeological risk areas to be sure of compensation in case of damage, not to burden on the pockets of all Italians through the compensation from public funds.

Among the changes envisaged by the document, the creation of a fund to finance the protection of the territory. This new fund will be approximately 500 million with 40% of the revenues from the auctioning of emission of greenhouse gases, paid from the beginning of 2013, and the rest with a levy that will be defined each year on every liter of fuel consumed up to 2 billion per year.
