The non-response of the Italian government hide a different strategy: to entrust the reduction of emissions from oil and diversification climlteranti nuclear adventure, which is a non-renewable source, that has not solved the problems of radioactive waste and safety, which would reduce emissions only a small share of electricity production, and only after completion of the core, well beyond the 2020, the date by which the other European countries have already reduced their emissions by 20% or more. Moreover, the current Italian regulatory framework does not allow Italy to achieve the objectives set by the EU climate package, nor are proposals to transpose the European directive on renewables. With the proposed law of popular initiative, the Committee wants to help bridge the gap and provide an adequate regulatory framework and be able to implement the Directive.
On 6 and 7 November in Italy there will be 100 squares for Climate - Feast of clean energies. mobilization is promoted by numerous organizations and coordination, including the broad coalition on the march for the climate, symbolically coincides with the twenty-third anniversary of the Victory referendum against nuclear power, and organized to emphasize the importance of the dissemination of renewable sources, compared nuclear and coal. With hundreds of events throughout Italy, to organize the days of November 6 and 7 an amazing collection of signatures in support of the bill
popular initiative "Development of energy energy efficiency and renewables to climate protection, " promoted by a committee made up of many organizations (
www.oltreilnucleare.it ). Signatures (one hundred), we started collecting in late June, will be delivered in Parliament before Christmas. You can sign in all the clubs and the regional branch of Legambiente. More information
