Sostenibilità verso recovery. una lettura della narrazione del capitale naturale

The setting of the Ecological Economy has initiated new reflections on the issues of local devel-opment and has underlined the aspects of governance and relations promoted by local actors. The contribution, starting from the mitigation actions initiated in some glacial bodies of the Adamello-Presanella mountain range, reflects on the links between sustainability and recovery as they emerge from the discussions on ecosystem services and their enhancement. The reference frame-work for the theme of ecological transition and integration between economy and ecology is re-constructed by retracing the dynamics of global governance on the issues of sustainability and, in particular,biodiversity. The dynamics and concretization of all these aspects investigated at the local scale allows a reflection on the creation/appropriation of the value of natural capital and on local thinking about the meaning of sustainability.
