Realacci: “The side effects of the war will spill over into North Africa in a few months”

The side effect of the war will spill over to North Africa, which is almost totally dependent on Ukrainian and Russian wheat. Ermete Realacci is convinced of this and, speaking with Adnkronos, raises the alarm on food and economic damage, “in the very short term”, which will affect countries such as Egypt, Syria and Tunisia, which risk dying of hunger and consequently become unstable from a political and civil point of view. For the honorary president of Legambiente, “it is difficult to assess the future damage, including environmental damage, of the war, because we do not know how long it will last and we do not know what weapons are used, even if the consequences of factories and fuel depots that catch fire are clear . The problem that must worry us, however, is immediate and is enormous: Ukraine, and in part Russia, are a granary for half the world, not so much for us and for Europe, which from this point of view have the resources to find other sources of supply. But they are for many other countries, especially in many areas of North Africa, which risk going quickly and literally to starvation. And this will be a huge problem from many points of view, even from that of maintaining regimes that are often fragile ”. “There will be long-term consequences in many fields – continues Realacci – Everyone has now understood that, if we do not accelerate energy saving and renewables, we will lose not only in the economic field, but also in that of freedom, dependence and security. of our country and of Europe. But I must emphasize that these consequences will be present in many other production sectors, as also seen during the pandemic, where many supply chains have begun to shorten, returning to producing ‘at home’, after a security problem in supply has emerged. of essential raw materials for the future. All this will also happen in the food supply chain, and it is clear that the more we are able to produce in Italy, the better. But this does not alleviate the problems that may soon arise in Egypt, Tunisia and Syria due to the lack of food ”. Among the future consequences due to an ’emergency’ production, the environmentalist warns, “there may be a lack of attention to the environment and we must keep our eyes open on this. But in the immediate future, in the coming months, we will have to worry about the lack of food for many populations, a problem that can become a further threat to the security of the entire North African area. The exchange of products and food is an important part of relations between countries, however, when some raw materials and some productions are concentrated too much in certain areas, there is a problem that emerges with a violence that frankly we did not think about, especially when there are shocks like that caused by such a long, difficult and painful war. If we then add in perspective what may happen for some types of production due to climate change … well, we are already seeing this with the migratory flows coming from the sub-Saharan region ”.
