SASSARI, SEPTEMBER 18 > 20 2008
Issues such as biodiversity, desertification, water and food have become a planetary emergency, but still today there is no real awareness of their close interconnection and, notwithstanding the many international agreements, they are a challenge to which effective answers still need to be found.
In light of the G8 meeting in 2009 at La Maddalena, the Region of Sardinia intends to give an informal contribution through a series of initiatives on issues of the agenda so as to involve to the extent possible institutions, scientists, persons of law, associations and private citizens who have the future of the Planet at heart.
The deterioration of ecosystems at the global level has both caused and increased disparity among peoples, and has highlighted fundamental issues, ignored up to now, of biodiversity, climatic change, desertification and human rights.
