    Schlagwörter: Purpose – In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Italian government has adopted an action plan – the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) –, which is part of the Next Generation EU Plan and is developed around three strategic axes: digitization and innovation, ecological transition, and social inclusion. These axes reflect key elements of the global challenge of sustainable development that require integrated approaches: innovation for the economic one, ecological transition for the environmental one, and social inclusion for the social one. Hence, the digital and sustainability transitions characterize the plan and are expected to be synergistic in each plan mission. Assuming the complexity of achieving such synergistic outcome in practice, this study aims to investigate whether and how the NPRR is approaching the integration of the ecological, social, and economic areas of action and how digitization, supports the process focusing the attention on the NRRP's Mission 6 'Health' at national, regional, and local levels. Design/methodology/approach – This work adopts a 4-phases methodology, moving from an analysis of the NRRP official documentation about Mission 6 'Health' at the national level and at the level of the Campania Region with a focus on the Local Health Authority of the Salerno province to investigate both the big picture behind the policy makers' panned actions and the specific actions to be realized at the local level. Then, by wearing the lens of systems thinking, an exploration of the literature and an on-field case study are realized to identify key elements of a framework of reference for integrated governance of the digital and ecological transitions. Real-case examples of good practices and criticalities of integrated strategic governance approaches are discussed. Findings – The study is expected to reveal that, at given conditions, the digital transition can be synergistic with the sustainability transition. Specifically, digital care and telehealth, as part of the digitization plan, could be the key to many positive outcomes of Mission 6 at the economic, social, and environmental levels. The findings provide the basis for outlining a general framework of reference for an NRRP governance approach at the local level that integrates the ecological, social, and economic perspectives to explore and exploit opportunities for potential synergies of the twin transitions in progress. Originality/value – Achieving sustainability is a complex issue. It is especially complex in integrating the needs of ecology, society, and economy. Similarly, the digital transition is expected to be complex in ensuring positive impacts and avoiding negative ones, especially at the social level. This work highlights how envisioning and combining positive can impact the twin transition for ecology, society and economy when implementing policy plans, by adopting an (eco)systems governance approach. Research/ Practical/ Social/ Environment implications – The study has several implications. From a research point of view, it highlights how adopting the higher perspective offered by (eco)systems thinking can favor the view of nexuses of ecology, society, and economy that are not ‘visible' at the very local level of observation. From a practical and social point of view, the study highlights the necessity of adopting a governance framework of reference that integrates the three sustainability perspectives to inform wise policy decision-making on the multiple eco-systems impacts of the planned NRRP actions at the local level. Research limitations – As an essentially conceptual reflection, although based on official documents' references and real case examples, the interpretative hypotheses developed in the work necessitate empirical studies to be validated and further developed at both theoretical and practical levels
