Impatta Disrupt Italian Innovability Festival

"In a situation of water scarcity and stress, the problems related to the concurrent use of the resource increase and, therefore, in a broad-spectrum strategic planning vision, it is extremely necessary not only to evaluate the current state and trends, knowing almost in real time how much water we have, how much we withdraw and how much we return to the water bodies, but also to work on forecasts and future scenarios from the short to medium-long term" said ISPRA General Director Maria Siclari who spoke today at the conference C'è solo un futuro ed è sostenibile organized as part of Earth Day Italia.

"Our country has chosen to include environment and biodiversity in the Constitution, this also shows us that sustainability is the only possible direction to follow" said ISPRA President Stefano Laporta. "Health, well-being, work and the environment are linked by a "green" thread and there is no longer room for less than virtuous behavior towards the environment and natural resources, aware that we are in a crucial moment: climate change, scarcity of water resources, hydrogeological instability, the data that ISPRA monitoring gives us tell us that it is urgent to intervene. A different future is possible, but only if we know how to live it together. Change needs institutions and businesses, schools and research and each of us" declared President Laporta

The Festival, organized as part of Earth Day Italy, celebrates the World Day of Creativity and Innovation, established by the United Nations for a faster achievement of the 17 sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda.

Political, economic and financial decision-makers meet with civil society and the media to discuss how to fully express the extraordinary Italian potential in the field of innovation to achieve that “green renaissance” to which history forcefully calls us.
