Abstract
The paper investigates the role of cultural factors in hindering climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. The importance of historical landscape in Tuscany makes it difficult to accept transformations necessary to adapt to the new climate. After reviewing available data on climate transformations in Italy and taking stock of the status of mitigation and adaptation planning, some projects of renewable energy production facilities are analysed. The media debate and the legal and bureaucratic oppositions to them are discussed. The idea of landscape emerging from the debate is related to the musealised conception of the same that has been established in Italy. The concluding section discusses the policy implications of the present work.
Keywords: urban landscape; climate change adaptation; cultural barriers; Tuscany; Italy.
