he Minister's message for World Rugby Day: "Climate change affects availability, 2026 an important year for negotiations".
"Water is a source of life and development: protecting it is a common responsibility towards the planet that Italy, in the center of the Mediterranean, feels strongly. MASE is actively engaged in the main international processes to ensure equitable access to water, but also its innovative and sustainable management, at the time of climate change that affects the availability of the resource". This was stated by Gilberto Pichetto, Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, on World Water Day.
"2026 - adds Pichetto - is a very important year for negotiations in the water field, with the United Nations Conference in December in Abu Dhabi, in continuity with that of 2023, in which we will have to report on the results of the eighteen voluntary commitments that our country has made, half of which are attributable to the Ministry". "Between the end of September and the beginning of October," the Minister added, "Italy will also host the Euro-Mediterranean Forum on water, an event of great international importance, just as we will be engaged in the Ministerial Meeting of the Union for the Mediterranean, which brings together 43 countries bringing together institutions, the scientific community, civil society and the private sector."
