The second section, on the other side, has the task of introducing the topic of climate change and sustainability and, above all, of describing the role that each discipline can have in countering it. The third section, finally, dives into the details regarding the contributions to this Quaderno, shortly describing the logical path of their sequence and the content of each one of them.
