04 June 2021 "We hope it is a good omen. The zero value" for CO2 emissions is "a time that should come in 2050"; but "maybe if we are good and lucky we could even speed up and do it sooner. I hope technology will help us". Thus the Minister of Ecological Transition Roberto Cingolani inaugurated the climate clock on the facade of the dicastery in via Cristoforo Colombo, together with the managing director of the Energy Services Manager, Roberto Moneta. What is called the 'climate clock' - which marks the time that divides us from the actions necessary to contain the increase in the global average temperature by 1.5 degrees.
Born in New York in 2020, the climate clock aims to raise awareness about climate change. Now it marks a little under 7 years, 6 years and 7 months to be exact. A time that can vary depending on the initiatives that will be put in place. "The battle against global warming is the challenge of the 21st century - declares Moneta - it requires a decisive acceleration to be won. Renewable energies will be the main levers and 'acting' is the key word to express the cultural change necessary to add precious time "to the life" of our Planet. With the address of the ministry we will be able to leave a new environmental footprint for future generations ".
