Apocalittici e impiegati
Tuesday January 29th, 2008 | 09:21 am | Uncategorized
Nowadays it’s difficult to find somebody who believes in a revolution that will put an end to the capitalistic system. However, many people think that the actual global system will collapse, because it’s not able to cope with the problems of the 21st century. This apocalyptic scenario is a nightmare and not a dream, because it would mean terrible conditions of life, much worse than today, for billions of people. But the economic, energy and environmental problems are so serious that we cannot take for granted the views of people who tell us that everything is under control. Between apocalypse and unjustified optimism, there is just a narrow road of governance and critical analysis.
La grande sfida della governance mondiale

We will not have a world government in the near future, but we can’t survive without a global governance: these are my conclusions after having been in charge of the journalists’ desk of the World Energy Congress, going through all the speeches and debates to produce with my team a hundred of press releases. We need global governance for a secure flow of oil, gas and electricity between different countries, for reducing the international speculation on energy prices, for the use of nuclear energy, for drafting a post Kyoto agreement acceptable to all and really useful for curbing the CO2 emissions, for all the consequences of the climate change. We need leaders with vision and courage and a great pressure from public opinion.
