NE Global: What outcomes could emerge at this COP29?
Mauro Rotelli: It’s an interesting COP, but it also seems a bit like a transitional COP. In the end, the question of questions, which is “Who pays?” is a key element. There are not only important challenging targets but there is also the need to understand how the various communicating vessels that affect developed, developing, and fourth-world countries can be balanced. The results that are being achieved, for example, the reduction of CO2 emissions that are particularly important in our country: last week there was Ecomondo (November 4-7), the most important circular economy trade show in Rimini, during which in the introductory report the platform on the national green economy set that in 2023 we beat CO2 emissions by 6 percent as a country system; going forward at this level the results that seem impossible to achieve are results that can be within reach – it is clear that this cannot decertify the national labour and economic aspect, the big challenge is just that: you set yourself extraordinarily important goals, but then you also have to account for the national labor economic aspect, which is not of secondary importance, otherwise then the transition is not understood by anybody, and instead you have to try to make sure that it can be shared as a path. We know that Italy, through its delegates, has a number of roles that the other COPs have not been there, so we follow what will be the development of the COP itself.
