The Covenant of Mayors after Durban
Rome, February 9
Rome, "Palazzo Valentini - Sala Di Liegro", February
9
The 17th Conference of the Parties in Durban represents
a turning point in international negotiations to fight climate
change: it opens a new phase, during which the global mechanism
will be defined, based on binding targets, by which exceed the
limits of the Protocol of Kyoto. This turn crosses the new leading
role of local authorities and municipalities in the challenge of
climate change. The European initiative of the Covenant of Mayors
is perhaps the most promising example of this fresh approach "from
below", which in many ways represents the evolution of
participatory local planning sustainability, opened with
Agende21.
Speakers include the Minister of the Environment Corrado Clini and
ISPRA's Director General Stefano Laporta.
