At the 27th Conference of Parties in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, leading green technology and renewable energy trade shows outline the urgent need to intensify circularity in waste management and the use of sustainable sources.
The two appointments are scheduled for Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th November.
The Mediterranean region is warming up 20% faster than the global average and is in second place in the global warming ranking. For the first time in the history of the COP, the 27th edition will host a “Mediterranean Pavilion” in which Ecomondo and Key Energy, the leading European trade shows for green technologies and renewable energies, organized by Italian Exhibition Group, will be holding two conferences, tomorrow 15th and Wednesday 16th November, to highlight Italy’s role in the green and energy transition. The events can also be followed in streaming on the Mediterranean Pavilion website.
We would add that Ecomondo and Key Energy only came to a close last Friday at Rimini Expo Centre, where total attendance was +41% compared to 2021 (and +15% more than the record edition of 2019), also recording double the foreign attendance (from 90 countries).
Located in COP27’s blue zone, the Mediterranean Pavilion is directed by the UfM-Union for the Mediterranean, the Mediterranean Action Plan MAP-UNEP and the PRIMA Foundation with consultancy from MedECC, an independent network of more than 600 scientists from 35 countries, offering an outstanding opportunity for networking and discussion on climate challenges and best practices for the region.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 15th, starting at 11.15 am, the event in the field of raw materials and energy sources “The role played by Italy in the energy transition of the Mediterranean area” will be attended by Alessandra Astolfi (Global Exhibition Director IEG), Gianni Silvestrini (Scientific Director Kyoto Club), Andrea Zaghi (General Director Elettricità Futura), Mario Gamberale (Chief Operating Officer Kyoto Club), Luca Traini (Senior Program Manager RES4Africa Foundation), A.
