On June 9 2017, during the second day of the initial conference of PREPAIR within the side-events of the G7 Environment, a very important milestone will be achieved in the Po Basin.

The Italian Minister of the Environment and of the Guardianship of the Territory and the Sea, Gian Luca Galletti, will sign together with the Regions of Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto the new anti-smog agreement. This very important institutional moment has a precise target: effective and shared measures for fighting air pollution through actions addressed to the most critical impact areas for the quality of air and also through initiatives to adopt in case of very critical events.

The initial conference of the LIFE integrated project PREPAIR will be held on June 8 and 9 in Bologna as a side event of the G7 Environment:

GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

On the first day, June 8, there will be a more in-depth presentation of the project and its five thematic pillars (agriculture, biomass, transports, energy efficiency, air quality and emission evaluation). Several stakeholders will discuss these topics.

On the second day, June 9, there will be a rather institutional event involving European representatives and the Presidents of the four Italian Regions who will be signing a new Air Quality Protocol at the end of the conference.
