Jan. 29 – Water and energy are fundamental elements for life. The Tuscany Region and the Water Right and Energy Foundation joined forces to ensure safe access to these resources with an agreement aimed at developing concerted aid operations, training and innovation on issues related to water, water & food and water & health. The project sees the cooperation of local authorities, companies, universities, and NGOs. For many years now the WRF and the Region carried out similar activities in parallel. The goal of the agreement is to integrate and enhance the projects and initiatives of both worlds. In particular, the Region and the WRF seek to develop joint actions at the international level to: support access to and management of water resources; the integration of international cooperation activities; and joint participation in international tenders related to water and energy. “The construction of a work plan will strengthen the impact of our actions in the areas of the world where water is either lacking or hardly accessible. We will also help support initiatives in the field of education and training, because it is important to bring water where it’s missing, but also to communicate its value.” (Cle)
