About this ebook

In the heart of the Mediterranean lies a ticking time bomb of climate catastrophe, with Italy poised on the frontline. In “Ecoshock”, Giuseppe Caporale navigates the complex web of environmental challenges threatening Italy’s very existence. From the melting glaciers to the sinking city of Venice, from renewable energy setbacks to the aftermath of devastating disasters like those on the Marmolada Glacier and the floods in the Marche region, Caporale paints a vivid picture of a nation teetering on the brink. With journalistic precision and a quest for understanding, Caporale explores the urgent causes and harrowing symptoms of our planet’s escalating emergency. Rising sea levels, intensified storms, and coastal flooding loom large, presenting profound threats to both human lives and fragile ecosystems. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres starkly reminds us, we face a pivotal choice: collective action or collective suicide. Through Ecoshock readers are called to confront the harsh realities of our climate crisis. This timely exploration serves as a rallying cry for renewed responsibility and heightened awareness. In the face of impending apocalypse, Caporale urges us to embrace a shared commitment to a sustainable future for the Mediterranean and the world.
