The Dpcm of 18 October in the part on conferences and congresses does not stop the "Green Symposium" in Naples on 22 and 23 October. A note from the organization clarified that the event will take place, even if Naples and Campania, at the time of writing, are under the siege of infections from Covid 19. The restrictions on activities are progressive and come both from the regional front than from the national one. However, the Symposium on environmental issues and the circular economy falls into a complicated context for industry and politics.
The prospect of a green deal is included every day in the overall strategy of the Recovery Fund. The annoyance you feel is that the weeks go by without having a clear and transparent path on what and when you want to do on: CO2 abatement, waste collection, plants, boosted sustainable mobility, green purchases in the PA. The announcements and some provisions contradict many local realities.
The Naples event, therefore, takes us with the best intentions of the organizers of RiciclaTv and Ecomondo. The pandemic is the setting for a country in which the virus has hit hardest (and continues to do so) in areas with high environmental pollution indexes. Paradoxically only the government has never said anything about these correlations, compared to data from universities and research centres.
At the Naples maritime station we will attend 4 Symposia, 8 technical tables, training seminars and the presentation of the first Italian school of advanced environmental training promoted by the Federico II University and by Ecomondo. As in a square, half real and half virtual, companies, institutions, associations, managers they will try to indicate concrete solutions and actions to deal with emergencies that are too often classified as calamities.
After months of discussions, September has arrived the decree on the circular economy which in particular transposes the European directives on waste and its traceability. But those who believe that the new rules alone are enough to give the right push to a process that began about thirty years ago are wrong. The proof lies in one of the questions that the Neapolitan Symposium wants to answer: what effective role does Italy want to have for research, innovation, new eco-efficient and sustainable technologies? The answer to politics. Perhaps.
