Un'ecologia politica della transizione ecologica. Democrazia dei dati e monitoraggio civico del Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza

The topic of the essay is the role of civic monitoring in ecological transition policies, deepening its connection with ecological distributive conflicts and procedural injustice. In particular, the essay proposes an empirical comparison between 14 civic initiatives mobilized around the request for access and the re-discussion of the data of the “Green Revolution and ecological transition”, envisaged in the RRNP. From a political ecology perspective, the essay deconstructs the discourses that inspire the environmental policy paths and describes the salient elements of transparency and civic monitoring, specifying the community based monitory approach in environmental matters and in relation to citizen science. Then, a modeling of local initiatives is suggested, analysing their objectives and tools, and reflecting on the aspects of inclusiveness and politicity. The conclusion reflects on monitory democracy of the ecological transition as a form of political ecology.
