Abstract
The EU has seen a decrease in legitimacy in the face of several “wicked” problems, the climate crisis being only one of the many that the EU has chosen to prioritize. To complicate this process of prioritization is the increased politicization and emotional charge of said crises, both at the European and national level: political forces opposed to the EU have seen a rise in popularity in several European member states, one of which is Italy. Italy has a long history of not truly committing to the cause of sustainable development, and the new government seems to be following this trend. Polls on the opinions of the population show that people do not have a negative view of sustainable development, but are not well-informed on it. Looking at the communication of both parties pro and against sustainable development, it appears that both sides have adopted a communication strategy that puts the other side at the opposition from a moral level, while the very legitimacy of the EU is put into question through opposition to the Green Deal.
