La Dimensione geografica della green economy: applicazioni, prospettive, sviluppo territoriale: il caso della regione Sardegna

The thesis work on the themes of the Green Economy, entitled 'Green Economy: geographical dimension and perspectives', aims to analyze the opportunities of territorial development represented by the green economy.Starting from the analysis of the National, European and international literature, the thesis work puts the green economy in relation to the EU energy policy, the Europe 2020 Strategy and cohesion policy, assessing the coherence, support and opportunities that it will arise.Transition into a new economic model requires also an evolution of the implementation tools and policy evaluation. The opportunities from green economy were measured through a careful selection/construction of indicators of climate change, energy risk and energy potential, quality of life, and more traditional economic indicators. Resorting to a model of Territorial Impact Assessment (STeMA, Prezioso 2001), the thesis measure the impacts that policy choices have on the different territorial typologies of Sardinia Region.The study evidenced that the potential of the green economy can’t be implemented indistinctly in the case study chosen because of regional differences, social and economic in the area.
