ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The program “Giovani 2030” was presented by Ali – Local Italian Autonomies – and the Metropolitan City of Rome (which was born thanks to the financing of the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security) which aims to involve young directors and professionals for sustainable development on the territory and accelerate the process of achieving goals. From the Asvis 2025 report by Ali and Metropolitan City, illustrated by Rosanna Capone, director of the Department of Strategic Planning of the Body, the picture that emerges with respect to the implementation of the 17 goals of Sustainable Development of the Agenda 2030, in our country, in fact, is not reassuring. 6 of the 17 objectives worsen (food, health, water, inequalities, terrestrial ecosystems and partnership); Eight remain stable or improve slightly (from poverty to energy, innovation to circular economy) while only three grow significantly (education, gender equality and climate).
Two levers to remove obstacles to sustainable development: apply generational impact assessment to implement policies that do not damage future generations; to develop the democratic capacity of participation in order not to erode the confidence of citizens and citizens in institutions. Three sustainability vectors to move on: coherence of policies for sustainable development (strengthening collaborations between institutions, enterprises, research and civil society); culture for Sustainability (potentialization of places of formation and education involving young generations); participation in sustainable development through co-design, co- programming and development of integrated tools. The Head of Cabinet of Cmrc, Francesco Nazzaro, starts from the place where the work of this first meeting takes place, the Urban Center of Viale Manzoni inaugurated only a few weeks ago by the mayor Roberto Gualtieri, to underline how the synergistic relationship between Rome Capital and the 120 municipalities of vast area can play a fundamental role to center the goal of the Agenda 2030. “The Urban Center – Nazzaro emphasizes – is a metropolitan place, meeting between the city and the surrounding area. And it is also the spirit of the “Youth Project 2030”: a dialogue with the new generations on sustainable development and the objectives we give from here to the next few years putting on the ground concrete ideas and actions in a relationship of collaboration between the city and the municipalities. Investing on the training of young directors and young professionals has been a natural choice for us. Involving the municipalities also allows us to have immediate feedback on the feasibility of the projects, on the real impact they have. Sustainability cannot be an abstract concept: must be translated into good practices in the territory, from small gestures to great choices and the synergy between our Ente and local administrations can really make a difference”, concluded Nazzaro. “The combination of local authorities and new generations moving in synergy is the perfect combination to carry out truly effective sustainable development policies. It is the municipalities that can play an essential role because as we have seen some of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda instead of advancing,” said the Secretary General of Ali, Valerio Lucciarini. Yesterday was the first of the meetings scheduled from here to the next few months to start the formation of administrators, professionals and civil society.
