Rome, 30 Nov. (time.news) – “Today the United Nations Conference on Climate Change opens in Dubai. This is the first real test of the Paris climate agreement, adopted with the aim of limiting the increase in average global temperatures well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, aiming for a more ambitious limit of 1.5°C. We already know that we are not on track to limit global warming and that greater commitment is required to achieve the goals of reducing emissions. And we know how much climate change and the extreme events resulting from it have an impact on a fundamental sector such as agriculture, which is the economy, but also health, protection of the territory, food and life”. Thus the group leader of Pd in the Agriculture Committee and secretary of the Presidency of the Chamber, Stefano Vaccari, in a comment on the HuffingtonPost.
“Investing in agri-food systems and rural areas – he adds – creates the concrete solution to address the impacts of the climate crisis. This is not new but a challenge that FAO will launch primarily at COP28. ‘The climate crisis and the food crisis are inseparable,’ will say director general QU Dongyu. Keywords and themes that we have been fighting for a long time as the Democratic Party and which we will continue to strongly focus on starting from the work in the Agriculture Committee. Words that we reiterated yesterday through the mouth of our secretary Elly Schlein at the CIA Congress, one of the most important farmers’ organizations in our country, whose title was ‘Saving agriculture to save the future’. For our part – he concludes – we will continue to stimulate the government that does not invest in this sacrosanct direction in the financial maneuver and we will monitor the tenders and the Pnrr funds because this is what they must be used for and so that they are not yet another wasted opportunity”.
