「Meloni’s G7 sustainable food plan faces political, financial gridlock」

The Italian government is priming a new climate and foreign policy initiative focused on sustainable food at this week’s G7 summit in Puglia.

The initiative could give Meloni a greater hand in global affairs, but domestic political and financial headwinds threaten its implementation.

どこも同じです。

While re-centering the conversation on Africa is the right step for the world as a whole, “it’s not that European food systems are fully sustainable,” ECDPM analyst Cecilia D’Alessandro at the European Centre for Development Policy Management think tank told Semafor. It’s not that the EU hasn’t tried but many of its initiatives have been scrapped after huge farmer protests shook countries across the continent.

Financing Meloni’s project will be one of the biggest challenges for the G7
＆
Banks are concerned about their financial return, which is why they tend to be more eager to fund a few big infrastructure projects as opposed to several small-to-medium size farms. The G7 needs to convince financial institutions that long-term social and environmental returns — such as avoiding climate catastrophes — are equally, if not more, important than short-term financial gains, D’Alessandro said.

今どきは、長期で利益が出るので投資をお願いします、と言っても難しいでしょうね。

ま、日本も他人事ではありませんが、どこかで日本にもツケが回ってきそうです。
