The mayor of Pescara, Carlo Masci, will participate in the “Icc Conference and Mayors – Business Forum” in Porto, Portugal in the next few days.
The Intelligent Cities Challenge (Icc) meeting will be held on 18 and 19 June and Masci will bring to this event the example of the Pescara Municipality, which signed the first four Local Green Deals, i.e. agreements at local level to accelerate sustainability actions in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal.
The goal to be achieved is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% compared to the 1990 level, in 2030, to reach zero by 2050.
The Local Green Deals signed in Pescara feature Confindustria Medio Adriatico, the development agency of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture, Crafts, Aprioh (Confprofessioni) and Pescara Energia Spa as protagonists and therefore actively engaged. The signing of these agreements was recognized by ‘Icc underlining that «with this significant step, the city of Pescara is the first core-city in Europe of the Icc (among the 69 existing ones) to officially sign the Local green deals», says mayor Masci, «this is the public recognition that has arrived by the ICC, has allowed Pescara to become a “model within the ICC programme”.
