With a population of over 60 million inhabitants and GDP of $1.9 trillion, Italy is one of the largest economies in Europe. Climate change, mitigation and adaptation, urban air quality, waste management, reclamation, ground water pollution and over-exploitation, and hydro-geological instability are issues Italy is currently tackling. As for energy, in 2016 renewable energy covered 17.6% of Italy’s primary energy consumption and 38% of the whole Italian electric power demand.
The contribution from the companies is C$1,500. However, Global Affairs Canada is helping pay for 50% of the travel cost. This is done through Ecotech Quebec who has requested and received the funds but can support companies also from other Provinces.
