Lipparini: "Citizens and stakeholders called to develop proposals and changes on the four areas of development of the city together with the Administration"

Milan, November 24 2020 – The Air and Climate Plan, the instrument studied and drawn up by the Municipality of Milan to protect health and the environment, enters the heart of popular sharing with the launch of the area laboratories in which more than 200 bodies, associations and companies, stakeholders of the city. The text of the Plan, divided into actions, was approved last October 15th by the Council and the process has begun which will soon bring it to the examination of the Commission and the City Council which will have to approve it.

The process of citizen participation is taking place in parallel with the institutional-administrative process of the text of the Plan. Its objective is to make the actions proposed in it closer to the needs of the city and its inhabitants and above all shared by those who have an interest and desire to be an active part and supporter of a necessary and decisive environmental transition.

From tomorrow, Wednesday 25 November, more than 200 stakeholders will discuss online in four area laboratories, dedicated to examining in depth the contents of the actions envisaged by the specific areas of the Air and Climate Plan and to find out what entities think about them, city ​​associations and organizations. The first will be the "Milan connected and highly accessible" laboratory.

“The participatory process that accompanies the adoption of the Air and Climate Plan is in full swing - declared the councilor for Participation, Active Citizenship and Open Data, Lorenzo Lipparini - and is involving, step by step, thousands of citizens. We began with a listening activity through the questionnaire proposed last summer, and the meetings for illustration and active participation are now coming to life, such as the next thematic workshops that will follow the meetings held with the municipalities. They will be animated by representatives of all the entities interested in issues related to the environment, mobility, energy and greenery who responded to our public appeal and who with their commitment can really make a difference. We are convinced that this process of shared document development can generate a far-reaching and effective Plan, guaranteeing a concrete environmental transition process."
