With the recognition Cancun of local climate change, now city, state and Italian regions want to act with greater autonomy.
"In Cancun for the first time local authorities have been recognized as agents to combat climate change in Italy and now it is time that the Government unlock the constraints of the Stability Pact to allow municipalities, provinces and regions to invest in renewable energy and therefore cut costs. "
The summary of Emmanuel Burgin, President of the Italian Local Agenda 21, at the close of the first round table was held on the morning of December 16 in Rome at the headquarters of the CNEL (National Consortium of Economics and Labour) as part of the day di approfodimento dal titolo "Dopo la COP 16 di Cancun. dialogo tra Autorità Locali e Governo Nazionale su cambiamenti climatici ed energie rinnovabili".
"E' praticamente impossibile allo stato attuale con i vincoli di bilancio imposti - ha aggiunto Burgin - assecondare la volontà e la capacità di qualsiasi amministrazione di realizzare interventi finalizzati all'efficienza energetica e quindi alla riduzione dei costi pubblici".
Il circolo infatti è vizioso: gli enti locali non investono in rinnovabili per non aumentare l'indebitamento e di conseguenza non riescono ad abbattere i costi delle bollette delle proprie strutture.
"Si potrebbe liberare miliardi di Euro se si allentassero in modo mirato gli obblighi Stability Pact - Burgin claims - which prevent local authorities to invest the resources that already have on hand. Thanks to a propulsive government could generate new revenues in the market for green economy that Italy than the rest of the world still struggling to take off. To do this, however, is a strategic choice to bring our country new position on the most ambitious in line with major EU country already facing a cut emissions by 30%. "
The event was organized as part of LG Action, a project that aims to create a European network of local authorities working on the themes of change on the issues of climate change and energy.
