Voluntary National Review ITALY National Sustainable Development Strategy .pdf. (n.d.). Retrieved from https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/16341Italy.pdf
This document was drafted and posted by Italy's sustainability department. Its primary focus is to explain the current sustainability culture in Italy and expand on the Global Agenda for sustainability. Therefore, other nations can references Italy's plan and progress so they can make their own. Italy's plan includes improving on weaknesses and the first draft of the National Sustainable Development Strategy which entails the use of the five P's. I am interested in how Italy is placing themselves on a pedestal for improvements in the sustainability category. I would like to know what part of their plans can be adopted universally and how well Italy would deal with public failure if it happens.

Within Italy's Country Profile, it is a simpler overview of the National Review however, it also works as a clarifying document for parts of the plan that get rather long. This document focuses on shortening the overall document while discussing the more valuable sections. Personally, I am very appreciative of this document because it shows that Italy caters to the everyday person. This is because they made a separate document that is just as accessible but much more understandable.

This document is a write up of an experiment that discovers and explains the correlation between Sacred Natural Sites and the conservation of biodiversity. This article is what sparked my curiosity about sustainability and conservation in Italy. Therefore, it is the foundation of my project.

This website is another resource that is not only available but is also accessible to the public that talks about Italy's approach and agenda to environmental sustainability. However, it also contains a three year plan which i find useful because Italy's main plan is for the long term (10 years). This three year plan shows the short term effects Italy's master plot which, could better influence other nations.

This web page talks about the Italy's past and current mistakes when it comes to their approach to environmental sustainability. With respect to this document i can see if Italy's new plan improves on past mistakes, ignores them, or repeats them.

This web reference page contains information about various shrines in Italy. I used it to crosscheck with the write up of the experiment and see if any of the shrines listed were going to be in any of the places we would be potentially visiting. I found this fun because it is another way of sharing my findings with the group in person.
