The Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Anna Lindh Italy Federation participated in several sessions at COP 26 in Glasgow, sharing concerns about the lack of shared incisive action essential to curb climate change and allow the survival of mankind on earth.
President Capasso shared the concerns expressed by Barak Obama and other speakers, and once again proposed the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD project. "Only if a unitary political and institutional space is identified - even if only by changing the name of the UN - will it be possible to face the great challenges ahead of us together.
The absence of China and Russia is serious and joint initiatives between the European Union and the other world partners must be taken in this respect. No serious action can be taken if those who are responsible for half of the pollution do not participate and adhere," said President Capasso.

Parent Category: Tutte le Attività (EN) - Category: Anno 2021

The tenth joint meeting of the International Committee and the Council of Ambassadors of the United States of the World took place - partly in presence and partly by "zoom" connection.
Among the topics on the agenda:

1. The designation of the seat of the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD.
2. The planning of the constituent assembly of the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD.
3. The unresolved issues concerning the institutional seat of the "Pierce Palace".

On point 1, President Ahmed Jebli stressed his satisfaction, after almost thirty years, at having reached the ratification of the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD and announced the choice of the "Pierce Palace" as the seat, hoping for the involvement of the Italian Government for the assignment of the entire building of the former "Grand Hotel de Londres" in a short time in order to allow the representatives of the adhering countries.
On point 2, President Capasso announced the organisation of the Constituent Assembly of the United States of the World for the end of May, pending confirmation of the date by the UN Secretary General and other representatives such as the US President.
On point 3, President Ben Achour emphasised the now urgent need to define the pending issues relating to the Naples headquarters of the Museum of Peace - MAMT and the international institutions (to which the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD is added) and concerning the allocation of new spaces, the exclusive use of the access staircase for reasons of security and integrity of the functions, the temporal adjustment of the concessions to the 99 years deliberated by the Campania Region considering that the fundamental condition set by the 43 adhering countries was to have an institutional seat in ownership or for a long period considering the investments to be made and the high institutional representativeness. President Ben Achour and the ambassadors present recalled the Appeal sent in October 2019 still without result and the need - even in this difficult period - for a decisive meeting with Prime Minister Draghi.
The participants thanked Senator Pierferdinando Casini for his support of the "UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD" project

G20: "PEOPLE, PLANET AND PROSPERITY", THE SUMMIT AT THE EUR. THE DREAM OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD

Rome | 30 October 2021
Parent Category: Tutte le Attività (EN) - Category: Anno 2021

"A great opportunity hampered by bureaucracy and by the specific interests of large countries such as China and Russia: we need to create the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD".
This is how the president of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso expressed himself in Rome at the conclusion of the G20 work.
A large oval table, framed by the flags of the leading countries with the addition of that of the European Union. All around, the backdrops with images of Italian landscapes and the slogan of the summit 'People, planet, prosperity'. Mario Draghi welcomed the world leaders in the room set up inside the Cloud where the work of the Summit of the Great Ones takes place.
"Dear colleagues, it is a great pleasure to welcome you here in Rome for this G20 and to see you here after the difficulties of recent years", began the premier opening the first session. Draghi was the first to take his place, after the 'photo opportunity', at the large work 'desk' which is furnished with a large lawn in the center and 'surrounded' by positions for the delegations and the staff of the leaders. The prime minister, in particular, was able to count on the presence (behind him) of the ministers most directly involved in the dossiers of the summit: Economy Minister Daniele Franco and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio. Around the big table, each head of state and government has his assigned seat. Among the many, Angela Merkel can count on Indian Prime Minister Modi as a 'desk mate'.
The Roman summit is mainly articulated around the discussions on the issues that the Italian presidency summarizes in the "three P": people, planet and prosperity. At the heart of the first area, the effects that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the economic and social equilibrium of the world. The goal is to reduce global inequalities made even more evident by the health crisis, looking for ways to protect the most vulnerable sections of the population - women, young people and precarious workers - by working on issues such as access to education and inequalities of opportunities and living conditions in the various countries of the world. The issue of coronavirus vaccines is central, with countries that have now reached high thresholds of already immunized populations and vast areas of the world where instead only a few groups have been vaccinated.
