FRAMEWORK
Cardiovascular disease and its many manifestations have a major impact on the lives of millions of patients and those around them. There is no doubt that cardiovascular disease will remain the most frequent cause of death and disability in Europe and throughout the world. At the global level, the World Health Organization reported that “cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) take the lives of 17.9 million people every year, 31% of all global deaths” (2018). By 2030, the number of people who die from CVDs, mainly from heart disease and stroke, will increase to reach 23.3 million.

NUDGE aims to systematically evaluate and fully unleash the potential of behavioural interventions toward achieving higher energy efficiency by paving the way for the generalized use of such interventions as a worthy addition to the policy-making toolbox. The project, which has a planned duration of 36 months, is carried out by a multidisciplinary team of 10 partners and trials that will take place in 5 different EU countries. Taking into consideration the Italian situation on matters concerning renewable energies and also given the EU's position on the importance of energy efficiency, Cittadinanzattiva as the only Italian participant, decided to join the NUDGE consortium intending to contribute to achieving the adoption of behaviourally tested policy interventions at the local, regional, national, and EU level.

Background
Patient safety is the reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with health care to an acceptable minimum. An acceptable minimum refers to the collective notions of current knowledge, resources available and the context in which care was delivered and weighed against the risk of non-treatment or alternative treatment (WHO 2004).
