Onu: minaccia desertificazione, ma i deserti sono una risorsa

Giornata mondiale per la lotta alla desertificazione e alla siccit�

19.06.2006 �La desertificazione � una delle minacce pi� serie che l�umanit� si trova ad affrontare. � un problema globale che affligge un quinto della popolazione mondiale in pi� di 100 paesi� - ha ricordato il Segretario generale dell'Onu Kofi Annan, nel suo messaggio diffuso in occasione della �Giornata mondiale per la lotta alla desertificazione e alla siccit��, che si � celebrata sabato 17 giugno. I deserti sono minacciati come mai prima, mentre potrebbero essere un tesoro di risorse per il pianeta per la produzione di energia solare o piante medicinali sottolinea un rapporto pubblicato dall�Onu nei giorni scorsi. Obiettivo dell�iniziativa, che coincide anche con il 10� anniversario della convenzione Onu per combattere la desertificazione, � anche quello di attirare l�attenzione sulla vita di milioni di persone - soprattutto nell'Africa subsahariana (dove il 66% del territorio � arido o semiarido) ma anche in Asia e in America Latina - che oggi vivono al limite della sussistenza.

L�acqua nel programma dei 100 giorni

08.06.2006 'A come acqua: �L�acqua � un BENE COMUNE, la cui propriet� e gestione deve rimanere in mano pubblica�. Questo � quanto sta scritto nel programma di governo dell�Unione. E questo � uno di quei 3 o 4 impegni come il ritiro delle truppe dall�IRAK senza se e senza, la revisione della legge30�che il nuovo governo non pu� eludere. Uno di quelli che d� l�idea del cambiamento con il passato, un segnale forte per i fatidici primi 100 giorni. Invece il documento d�intenti del governo in circolazione, non ne fa menzione e il voto sulla direttiva Bolkestein con la quale in Europa si da il via libera al mercato dei servizi compreso quello dell�acqua, non � un bel segno e ci sia permessa la considerazione, sembrano accogliere pi� le pressanti richieste di Montezemolo e di Confindustria che quelle del Movimento sull�Acqua. Noi invece ci aspettiamo che quanto affermato solennemente nel programma dell�Unione venga riaffermato e in tempi utili con le scadenze dalla politica'. - di Emilio Molinari, Presidente del Comitato Italiano per un Conttrato Mondiale sull�Acqua
