00:00and the following year.
00:13General States of the ONT,
00:16focus on the energy challenge.
00:20Protected areas. Two days before the battle against Rome.
00:25The General States of ONT,
00:28The National Observatory for the Protection of the Sea, which for this edition of 2024
00:32focuses on the energy challenge towards the self-sufficiency of the country,
00:36the new frontier of renewable energy offshore.
00:39Today, on the occasion of the General States of the National Observatory for the Protection of the Sea,
00:43we once again had the meeting by entities, institutions and associations
00:49on a very important topic, that of the energy transition,
00:53in particular of offshore plants.
00:56And so, even in this case, the Observatory has revealed
01:00a very important element of conjunction of all these activities.
01:06The future of the Observatory is to gather even more of these energies
01:10that we have around the sea,
01:13try to unify as much as possible the idea of a sustainability
01:19of all the activities that can be done,
01:21from port activities to those of tourism, those of fishing,
01:24to those of the energy that we are talking about today.
01:27The debate has drawn attention to what could be
01:30the contribution of the sea cluster, not only for the energy sector,
01:34but also for the innumerable other challenges that Italy is facing today.
01:38The sea is fundamental for those nations, like Italy,
01:43that make the maritime economy one of the main sources of internal energy.
01:51As everyone knows, about 90% of the traffic of all goods
01:56has a port on the sea.
02:00And so that the sea is safe and usable by the entire maritime cluster,
02:09the military marines have the task of making the maritime area
02:17safe and usable by everyone.
02:20We are in a global context in which energy transition
02:24is an essential priority.
02:26Italy must take advantage of the opportunities offered by renewable energies
02:30to guarantee energy security, environmental sustainability
02:33and economic competitiveness.
02:35A theme that also involves the sources of the PNRR.
02:38It is a fundamental asset.
02:41Initially there was an ideal mismatch between PNRR and PNIEC,
02:47almost as if PNRR meant infrastructure and PNIEC energy.
02:53Today these two categories are somehow merging.
02:57We have many plants for the production of energy from renewable sources
03:01that access PNRR funds.
03:03This opens up a new perspective that requires great attention,
03:08not only on the quality of environmental assessments,
03:11but also on the consistency with the access times to financing.
03:15There are more than 1,000 protected areas in our country,
03:18a natural heritage that includes 24 national parks,
03:2230 marine and protected areas, 149 state natural reserves,
03:27149 regional parks, 450 regional reserves and 5 geomineral parks.
03:33A huge wealth for Italy that needs careful planning
03:37aimed at protecting the environment and sustainable economic development,
03:42precisely to stimulate a moment of confrontation.
03:45In this regard, the National Library of Rome will host
03:48the General States of the Italian Protected Areas on December 17th and 18th.
03:53An event organized by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security
03:57in collaboration with Federparchi Europarchitalia.
04:01The first moment where we are going to add up
04:04all that is a huge national heritage,
04:07in this moment classified, starting from the parks,
04:11from the history of this country, the great national parks,
04:16then the regional parks, of course the protected marine areas,
04:20which are the basis for reaching international goals.
04:24We have an international commitment to reach 2030
04:2830% of the land area, 30% of the protected marine areas.
04:33We are at 30 billion square meters.
04:36This is our wealth, it becomes a wealth of environmental heritage,
04:41it becomes a wealth of cultural heritage,
04:44it becomes a wealth of tourist attraction and therefore of economic benefit.
04:49On the table of the General States of the Protected Areas
04:52there is also the theme of Law 394 of 1991,
04:56a law that states the fundamental principles
04:59for the institution and management of the protected natural areas
05:02in order to guarantee and promote in a coordinated way
05:05the conservation and valorization of the natural heritage of the country.
05:09An excellent law, we would miss something else,
05:11but we have to set goals.
05:13The possibility that all the protected areas
05:16dialogue with each other.
05:17The possibility to also do a scale economy, which is important,
05:19that is, to try to economize within these contexts
05:23to produce resources that can be used in other contexts.
05:28The possibility, above all, to go and think
05:33about new objectives
05:35that concern the administrative aspects of the protected areas,
05:38that is, a greater administrative flexibility.
05:41We just want to represent this problem,
05:44but for the solution we expect that the proposals
05:47come directly from these two days.
