The second edition of the Summit
on Sustainable Development of the Upper Adriatic and Central
Europe began today in Trieste.
The event, running until tomorrow, focuses on the issue of
air quality and features experts in the field from
Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Carinthia, the Slovenian coast, and
Istria, in addition to Friuli Venezia Giulia. "It is not only a
meeting in which top experts in the environmental field take
part to delve into the crucial issue of air quality," underlined
FVG Regional Councillor for Environmental Defense, Energy, and
Sustainable Development Fabio Scoccimarro, "but also an
opportunity to create a network of people, professionals and
institutions committed to finding solutions to present needs
without compromising the future of the next generations.
Together, we can pave the way for sustainable and inclusive
development."
"The opening of this day," he added, "is a unique
opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities ahead
of us, guided by the vision and commitment to build proposals
from the bottom up, to highlight how much already common
perspectives can be generated from neighboring territories.
Today, the technicians participating in this summit - the FVG
Region reported - are drafting a joint document that will define
the possible ways of collaboration and exchange of data and
information related to the monitoring and assessment of air
quality in each country.
Tomorrow, in the presence of institutional representatives of
the partner countries, the meeting will focus on the final
document. "A Memorandum," Scoccimarro remarked, "with which the
signatories make and share concrete commitments, with the
awareness that environmental and air quality policies have no
boundaries."
