On Monday, October 9th, at 6 p.m., Villa Guastavillani will host the presentation of the book “Net – Zero,” with author Lorenzo Forni, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Padova and Secretary General of Prometeia Associazione.
The challenge of climate change requires inescapable reflection within the current economic and social system. Reducing emissions and the need for an abrupt global rethink involve institutions as well as private organizations and individual players. Concrete and rapid actions with a decisive impact are needed to address these issues.
What are the tools at our disposal? What are our guiding points in this journey?
Discussant for the event will be Professor Matteo Mura, Director of the BBS Centre for Sustainability and Climate Change.
