Abstract

European policy for renewable energy and waste reduction is a priority.At country-level there is the necessity to support and implement the diffusion of a green culture: sustainability requires economic, environmental and also social care. Institutions are the infrastructures able to manage eco culture and to preserve a stable environmental condition for a well-being vision.
The aim of this work is to offer an overview of the level of renewable energy in Italy. This country has several natural sources which are not fully utilized yet and this lack shows a managerial gap and some limits in the diffusion of a sustainable culture.
