Michele Capasso, President of Fondazione Mediterraneo and all members of the Fondazione strongly condemn the attack made on 31^st December 2010 against al Qiddiseen church in Alexandria.

We also express our sympathy with all the Egyptian people and with President Hosni Mubarak, who has promised all his commitment so that those responsible for this criminal attempt pay for their action.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo affirms once again, on this occasion, its commitment in favour of the principle of religious freedom for every citizen of every Country in the Euro-Mediterranean region and condemns all those who, in contrast with those who work for peace and for the fraternity of all peoples, persist in their will to spread a culture of fear of “the other” which too often leads to terrorist actions against innocent people.

WORLD WATER DAY

Naples | 22 March 2020
Parent Category: Tutte le Attività (EN) - Category: Anno 2010

Despite the worldwide blockade caused by the "Corona virus", the Mediterranean Foundation and the Museum of Peace - MAMT - through multimedia systems, portals and social networks - celebrated World Water Day with a large community, established by the United Nations in 1992.
The theme of the 2020 edition of the "Day" is the profound link between water and climate change. The goal is to raise awareness of world institutions and public opinion on the importance of reducing water waste and adopting behaviors aimed at tackling climate change.
Climate change, in fact, increases the variability of the water cycle, causing extreme weather events, affecting the quality of the water, threatening sustainable development and biodiversity worldwide. Not only that, the ever increasing demand for water leads to a consequent increase in the need for energy-intensive treatments; in addition, some measures to mitigate climate change, such as the extensive use of biofuels, can further exacerbate the scarcity of water. This is why an integrated approach to climate change and water management must be adopted worldwide as soon as possible. In fact, if you want to create a sustainable future, the management of water resources must be examined through a climate resilience objective.
President Michele Capasso underlined the importance of reflecting on the pandemic of the virus crown to return to protect and safeguard our "common home" and the main resources: first of all water.
