G20, the environmental historian Mariagrazia Midulla: “Everyone has to lose everything about the climate”

Climate change and human action on the planet’s climate is one of the hot dossiers of the G20 in Rome and “the confrontation will certainly be very hard”. Mariagrazia Midulla, head of Climate and Energy at WWF Italia, is convinced of this and, speaking with Adnkronos, indicates that climate change “is now getting to the heart of the problem”. If you do not want to risk that the summit marks a debacle in the fight against climate change “this time we need to achieve concrete results” because on climate change “everyone has everything to lose” and the heads of state “must abandon the logic of power games when it comes to climate change “. Midulla is present at the G20 summit as head of the Climate and Biodiversity Group of C20-Civil 20 and – they also look at Cop26 in Glasgow – underlines that we are now at the end of the line: “There is a need to change the way energy is produced and consumed . A change that involves all the bases of the global economic system based on coal and fossil fuels “. “The G20 could declare a strong will to pursue a 1.5 ° C increase in temperatures, but this requires concrete paths with respect to the Paris treaties, paths that pave the way for negotiation results at the COP in Glasgow” warns the historic Italian environmentalist which since 2001 has sat at the tables of the most important global climate conferences.
