Premier Matteo Renzi told the
UN General Assembly on the occasion of the signing of the COP 21
Paris climate-change accord Friday that combatting climate
change was a priority for Italy - "both for our government
initiative at a national level but it will also be a priority
for the G7 presidency we will assume next year and for our
commitment in Europe". He said "we will continue to work
together in the next few months to implement the Paris accord.
Renzi said "it is a great pleasure to be with you here and we
can discuss individual points, on renewable energy, the
transport system, and the energy efficiency of homes. But the
real challenge is to shut one's eyes a second and imagine our
children and grandchildren. The important thing is the political
message: politics is capable of giving hope to future
generations".
