"The climate summit is an important step in the fight against climate change," explains Governor Christian Solinas . He adds: “The planet is sending us alarming signals and we must all do our part to avoid the global crisis. Sardinia is not exempt from this process. In 40 years our land has lost over 100 km of coastline. The island will increasingly suffer from the effects of climate change. The Region has already adopted a nationally recognized adaptation strategy to climate change. The interventions are implemented in synergy with local authorities and are aimed at combating the phenomenon of coastal erosion, that of fires, and hydrogeological instability, through the strengthening of available tools and technical structures. We aim - adds Solinas - on a sustainable development model that promotes renewable sources and energy saving to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and on a remediation program to enhance and protect our landscape ”.
