Italy 🇮🇹: A bill proposing the crime of "ecocide" (with penalties ranging from 12 to 20 years of imprisonment for anyone committing illegal acts detrimental to the environment) has been introduced in the Italian parliament by the AVS party (Alliance of Greens and Left).

The bill also stipulates that six months after its enactment, the Minister of Justice, through a specific decree, will establish the necessary measures to protect individuals who report ecocide crimes.
