00:00Great numbers for the 27th edition of Ecomondo, the biggest ever.
00:13It closed with new records at the international event dedicated to Green and Circular Economy,
00:18organized by Italian Exhibition Group at the Fiera di Rimini.
00:22Presences at 5% more than the previous edition, plus 4% those from abroad.
00:281,620 exhibitors who occupied 166,000 square meters in the Fiera district,
00:35expanded with two new pavilions to answer a growing demand from companies.
00:42A meeting place for the technological innovation of companies, the world of research,
00:47professionals in the sector and international delegations
00:50who have participated in over 200 conventions and workshops in the program.
00:55Ecomondo has been showing its growth for years,
00:58and the reason is probably due to the fact that, first of all,
01:02Italy is an important country in the circular economy sector,
01:06it is growing at an important rate, 6% more than last year,
01:12it is positioned very well on the issue of recovery and recycling,
01:16we are at 72% against a European average of 65%,
01:23and we also have the promise that in the next few years,
01:28until 2030, probably 300,000 jobs will be created through the circular economy.
01:36Ecomondo is the collector of all this knowledge,
01:41it is the place that has become a leader in Europe and in the Mediterranean basin
01:48on the issue of the green economy and the circular economy.
01:52A novelty compared to this year is the whole issue of climate change prevention.
01:59The use of big data, artificial intelligence, monitoring,
02:05will be the essential tools to prevent what we are now used to
02:11considering disasters that once were extraordinary
02:15and that are becoming more and more ordinary in our world.
02:19So Ecomondo is a great opportunity to relaunch the theme of the environment
02:25and the attention that humans must have to the environment
02:29to be able to live in harmony on this planet.
02:34Climate change is part of the current situation we are experiencing,
02:38hence the action of the institutions on mitigation and adaptation.
02:42On the other hand, we are growing with renewables.
02:45The fact that we have surpassed fossil energy production during 2024
02:55in the first half of the year is a relevant fact.
02:58Then, of course, it is an element, because the goal must be seen in a longer period,
03:03it must be seen with the goal of 2030 and then 2050.
03:06But we are growing with wind, with photovoltaics,
03:10we are renewing the geothermal concessions of the new generation.
03:15And so the path, the road is this, on the front of mitigation,
03:20to take note that we are in the middle of the Mediterranean,
03:24the Mediterranean is one of the warmest seas,
03:26the contrast is such that what we thought should never happen
03:31or could happen every few hundred years,
03:34unfortunately it is much more frequent.
03:36We must run with adaptation and repair as soon as possible.
03:41On the one hand, many small maintenance works are necessary,
03:46on the other hand, many large works are necessary, not done for years,
03:51but because we did not feel the need for them,
03:54we did not perceive the state of gravity,
03:59but of course it was necessary to create vessels to collect water
04:04when it comes too much and release it when there is drought,
04:08it is a matter of creating areas of survey,
04:10it is a matter of balancing the flow of rivers and torrents
04:17with respect to the environmental protection of biodiversity,
04:21but also the livability of the people who live in the area.
