The experience of a social agricultural cooperative in Calabria, in the Piana di Gioia Tauro. A food project with the Mediterranean diet curated by the City of Science of Naples. The news that 200 Milanese have given up using a private car in the last year. Encouraging signals are coming from the Festival on environmental sustainability, which started yesterday from Naples on the initiative of AsviS. At the end of a tour that will touch other cities, it will be necessary to verify whether by 2030 "no one is left behind!": slogan of the event.
Since yesterday, the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development has been committed to spreading environmental sustainability. A good machine that has brought together as partners Enel, Unicredit, Telecom, Wind and ministers, experts, opinion leaders to make the goals of the UN Agenda 2030 feasible. That, precisely, for sustainable development. The hope that the world of sustainability and that of the real economy meet and walk together. It was necessary to do it to give confidence to millions of people who believe in it.
Besides Naples, you also meet in Venice, Taranto, Milan, Reggio Emilia, Siena, Udine and Parma. A marathon until 7 June with the 17 objectives declared by the United Nations at the centre. No progress is made if poverty, malnutrition, health, education, access to resources are not part of shared strategies. Those outlined by many countries need to be updated. For Italy there is a need to reformulate industrial and occupational processes, which Giuliano Poletti and Susanna Camusso have talked about, among others.
A certain figure, presented yesterday, has touched the heart of inequalities: in the last 30 years the gap between rich and poor has reached unthinkable levels. On the one hand, waste of all kinds, on the other, the production of goods and services centralized in a few hands, but which no longer even satisfy the direct beneficiaries. An epochal reversal in progress, already represented with Expo 2015. A devastated environment that directly affects, as well as very negatively, lifestyles, cannot be a point of arrival.
The invitation is, therefore, to politics, to the government, to Parliament which must exploit every opportunity to break down gaps and imbalances. The overall vision between sustainability, new forms of organization and production of goods, as mentioned by Minister Maurizio Martina, will have to give measurable results in the medium-long term. The commitment has been made. 2030 is the planetary goal set by the United Nations and international conferences. Reaching it earlier, without "anyone being left behind", is by no means forbidden.
