Youth4Climate: Rome headquarters of the World Youth Conference on Climate. What will the right in government do?

Roma prepare the permanent location of the Youth4Climate, la Youth climate conference. Italy has been chosen by the vast majority as the permanent venue for the confrontation of young environmentalists from all over the world. The result achieved by Mario Draghi e Roberto Cingolani in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations Assembly, therefore, he places a first environmental responsibility on the head of the future government. The capital must equip itself to ensure the functioning of the structure. And the government that will be formed in the coming weeks will have to provide assistance and support for the global initiative. This will be a novelty for a centre-right-led executive.

Youth4Climate: the World Youth Conference on Climate will take place in Rome

To accomplish the goal of accomplishing a Roma the fixed headquarters of the World Youth Conference on Climate, first of all it will be necessary to make the internet platform operational where young people discuss, share experiences and prepare projects on climate and sustainability. The main structure is the Secretariat of the organization that will treat (key step) 15 tenders to develop global projects on climate change, energy sources, land care. The general lines of these commitments had started from Italy, from Milan, last year with the first session of the meeting . At that time, the ecological transition of the Italian government was appreciated as the most suitable path to deal with climatic and environmental emergencies. The final drafted document was then brought to the Glasgow Cop26. A strong point for Italy which had asked the UN to make the appointment Youth4Climate fixed. From Milan through New York to Rome, young people continue to demand more active participation in local and international political discussions; greater respect for the environment and workers with a transition to renewable sources; believe in 2030 for a zero emissions system; transparency and access to finance related to the environment.

The Youth Climate Conference will take place every year

At the UN headquarters, however, last week also discussed Leading youth ambition, Sustainable recovery, Involvement of non-state actors, Climate-aware society. Themes that up to now have never found much space in right-wing formations. How can we forget when Donald Trump with his fossil fuels was used as a model by sovereign exponents of half the world? However, the annuality of the meeting has been established, to better configure the time necessary to adopt measures that slow down the effects of the climate. The annual appointment will take place in collaboration with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).  The Innovation Challenge program of the Undp will have the task of managing the 15 tenders in detail.

Climate: issues that the Italian right wing in government will have to adopt

For now it is known that the participants in the World Youth Conference they will work on urban resilience, sustainable food systems, energy and education. The Rome Secretariat will be based at the Center for Climate Action and Energy Undp. From there – as long as the new government doesn't step back – through the www.youth4climate.info platform, young people will insist on obtaining measures capable of keeping the global temperature below 1,5 degrees. But at that point they will also measure the policies of the governments and of the Italian one in particular, so different from the one known in 2021 in Milan. "Either we'll take care of the environment or everything else won't matter," he wrote Giorgia Meloni in his electoral program. In addition, he wants to update and make operational the National plan for adaptation to climate change stopped for a few years. These are concepts expressed to the electorate that ensured their victory. But if the leader of the Brothers of Italy is indeed the next head of government, the arrival in Rome of the largest youth climate organization offers her an excellent opportunity to be credible even to those who did not vote for her.
