To limit price increases in the short term and help the poorest families in particular, “we allocated 1.2 billion euros in June and over 3 billion in September. We are intervening in the budget law and we are ready to continue to do so, with particular attention to the weaker groups ".
This was announced by Prime Minister Mario Draghi at the Work and Energy event for a sustainable transition, in a speech in which he touched on various points, from the NRP to the climate challenge.
"The fight against climate change - he said in this regard - is, with the fight against the pandemic, the most important challenge of our times", "existential".
"It will require radical transformations of technologies, production processes, consumption habits - he added -. To be successful it will have to be sustainable from an environmental, but also social and economic point of view. The State will play a central role in managing these changes. The public it will have to take on the task of helping the weakest citizens in particular "with" rapid transition times, but compatible with the conversion capacity of companies ".
"The state must ensure that the risks of transition are transformed into opportunities for growth - he stressed -. In the energy sector, many of the most promising technologies have high fixed costs, and require substantial investments in research and development or infrastructure. The public sector must contribute to these expenses, which cannot only be covered by companies but we must also invest in training, to ensure greater mobility for workers. And support young people entering the labor market, so that they develop the right skills. Pnrr intervenes on all these aspects ".
“We are expanding our clean energy production capacity, from agro-voltaic to biomethane - he listed -. We are allocating more than three and a half billion for the hydrogen supply chain, in which we are also investing at European level. We improve the links between university and business, we support innovative start-ups, we promote partnerships between research institutions and companies. We strengthen the system of Higher Technical Institutes and strengthen the skills in technical-scientific subjects of girls and boys ".
