G20: Legambiente, climate pact without concrete commitments ZCZC2577 / SXA XEF21304006730_SXA_QBXB R ECO S0A QBXB G20: Legambiente, climate pact without concrete commitments Starting from climate finance, Italy mobilized 3 billion / year (ANSA) – ROME, OCTOBER 31 – From the G20 in Rome, Legambiente expected “more responses and concrete actions on the front of the fight against the climate crisis. We are disappointed by the climate pact signed today”. This was stated by Stefano Ciafani, national president of Legambiente, explaining that “this is an agreement that formalizes what has already been acquired without providing for concrete commitments on climate finance, starting with Italy which has not put its fair contribution on the table – at least 3 billion euros a year – to the total of 100 billion dollars promised in Paris as a collective commitment by industrialized countries to help the poorest in climate action “. Now, continues Ciafani, “the hope is that in Glasgow, where Cop26 opens today, the great people of the planet will be able to find an agreement to reach a new and ambitious climate agreement capable of keeping the goal alive. of 1.5 degrees centigrade of the Paris Agreement, but also to accelerate the adaptation to climate change, to deal with the losses and damage of the communities most affected by the emergency, but also and above all to adequately finance the action of poor countries and complete the Rulebook, ie the implementing rules of the Paris Agreement, to finally make it operational “.
Ciafani observes that “to contain global warming within the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees, the years from now to 2030 will be crucial” and therefore a 55% reduction in current emissions is needed. At Cop26 in Glasgow, “Italy sets a good example by respecting the commitments and aid promised. We ask Prime Minister Mario Draghi that Italy in Glasgow undertakes to fill the one billion euros by the end of this year. euro still missing compared to the $ 4 billion promised in Paris for the 2015-2020 period and to mobilize at least EUR 3 billion a year, starting next year, to guarantee ‘its fair share’ of the collective commitment of 100 billion dollars. The necessary resources can be found easily by cutting fossil fuel subsidies. ” “It will then be essential – concludes Ciafani – to update the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan as soon as possible to guarantee a reduction of our climate-altering emissions by at least 65% by 2030, going well beyond the 51% target set by the NRP and confirming the phase-out of coal by 2025 without resorting to new gas plants “.
