A Pivotal Media Gathering for Climate Action

April 22, 2025, Earth Action Day, Rome

ROMA, ITALY, April 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On April 22nd, 2025, a crucial year for renewing global climate commitments, the city of Rome will be the focus of Earth Action Day. Katheen Rogers, the President of EARTHDAY.ORG, the driving force behind the global Earth Day movement, will host a prestigious news event bringing together some of the most important voices in Italy, as they collectively back renewable energy.

"Earth Day is the cornerstone of my year, and this year, Italy represents the perfect backdrop for a message of unity around the critically important subject of energy. We will demonstrate that renewable energy transcends political divides. Embracing it delivers multiple benefits simultaneously: strengthening the global economy, creating millions of new jobs, enhancing energy independence, and improving affordability for both businesses and citizens alike. On top of that, it benefits human health and the health of the planet. This is not about politics— it is about pragmatic solutions that benefit us all. Which is why this is such a unique gathering of political, economic, faith, and industry leaders." Kathleen Rogers, President EARTHDAY.ORG

Joining Kathleen Rogers for Earth Action Day will be:

● Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, Italian Minister for the Environment and Energy Security, representing the Italian Government's ambitious vision for renewable energy and climate action.
● A high-level representative of the Holy See, offering a vital perspective rooted in the Laudato Sì encyclical's moral imperative for environmental stewardship.
● Roberto Gualtieri, the Mayor of Rome, showcasing the host city's leadership in sustainable urban development.

These influential voices, representing the intersection of government policy, moral leadership, industry, urban innovation and grassroots activism, will unite alongside Francesco La Camera Director General of IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) and associations representing over 100 leading companies in the energy and automotive sectors, as well as prominent economists, to publicly back renewable energy.

This event's significance is amplified by its convergence with several key anniversaries: the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement being adopted in 2015 and then signed on Earth Day 2016, the 10th Anniversary of the Laudato Sì Encyclical, and the 20th Anniversary of C40. Each milestone underscoring the urgency of our collective mission.
