"COP29 is a really big event, it is of great importance," Francesco Corvaro, Italy's Special Envoy on Climate Change told APA.
He noted that Italy will be represented at the COP29 event along with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Minister of Environment and Energy Security Gilberto Pichetto: "Italy has a Mattei Plan dedicated to combating climate change in Africa. Thus, with the international cooperation of the Italian government, we open these discussions in conferences like this one. If we need to improve action on climate change this year, we need to focus on climate funds."
