Abstract: As part of the CITI4GREEN project, this contribution analyzes the public interventions contained in Re-START “Territorial Resilience of the Central Apennines Earthquake Reconstruction” assessing their impacts on the sustainability guidelines posed by the United Nations through the establishment of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To do so, the paper applies the methodology developed in Cavalli et al. (2020, 2021) to the 1278 reconstruction, repair, and restoration works in the Italian regions of Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche, and Umbria, affected by the seismic events of 2016 and 2017. The results are a clear priority given to Goal 4, “Quality education” which accounts for the 24.2% of the investments that af-fect the Agenda. Goal 11, “Sustainable cities and communities” takes the second place with 19.8%. Goals 14 “Life below water” and 7 “Affordable and clean energy” are, respectively, last and second last. All the three pillars of sustainability — environmental, social, and economic — are embraced by the public interventions. However, clear priority has been given to social and environmental sustainability. The economic dimension results under-represented. Additional policies are needed to ensure a more integrated sustainable development.
