FORUM PA 2020

Trasformazione digitale e sviluppo sostenibile: due obiettivi italiani ed europei che vanno perseguiti insieme

Roma, 10 Luglio, 2020 | 09:31

FORUM PA da quattro anni ha scelto come piattaforma ideale, in cui collocare l’impegno per l’innovazione della PA e del Paese, i 17 obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile dell’Agenda 2030 delle Nazioni Unite. In questo momento di profonda crisi mondiale vediamo con preoccupazione un rischio dato da un’alternativa mal posta e pericolosa. È quella tra la necessità di una vigorosa ripresa economica dopo l’inevitabile stop di questi mesi e la conseguente grave crisi che ne sta derivando e, dall’altra parte della bilancia, la sostenibilità dello sviluppo secondo l’Agenda 2030. Porre una scelta tra questi obiettivi è a nostro parere fortemente fuorviante. Dobbiamo necessariamente perseguire entrambi gli obiettivi: vogliamo uno sviluppo equo e sostenibile che, attraverso un Green New Deal, possa trainare una ripresa costruita sull’innovazione permessa dalle straordinarie opportunità di una trasformazione digitale inclusiva e partecipata.

Un’innovazione che a sua volta costruisca le basi stabili per il benessere delle comunità e la riduzione delle disuguaglianze. Questa strategia unitaria fatta d’innovazione e sostenibilità, che si rafforzano una con l’altra, sarà al centro di questo convegno che proponiamo assieme ad ASviS, l’Alleanza per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile, con cui condividiamo ideali ed impegno.

Di questi temi e di questa immagine del futuro e del presente parleremo con aziende, amministrazioni, Governo, ricerca e Università dando spazio a voci diverse. In questa occasione lanceremo anche il nostro tradizionale Premio “PA sostenibile” che vedrà la premiazione dei vincitori nel nostro appuntamento di novembre.
