National Conference at the National Training School of the Carabinieri Forestali: Lessons in Hydro-Strategy

Filippo Verre - November 12, 2022

On Tuesday 8 November 2022, a conference on hydro-strategic themes took place in Cittaducale – home of the Carabinieri Forestry School. After a global overview of the so-called “water powers”, that is, those nations that can be considered rich in the precious “blue gold”, Filippo Verre (Executive Director) and Carlo Corbinelli (Senior Research Fellow) of AB AQUA discussed many issues relating to the strategic importance of water. In fact, some aspects relating to the complex Italian water situation were explored in depth, the concepts of hydro-strategy and hydro-diplomacy were defined with dedicated ad hoc case studies, and the main global water crises were analyzed.

The response from those present – ​​over 100 Carabinieri students from the Forestry School – was very positive. The debate that developed at the end of the conference, characterized by several questions and interventions, enriched an already very stimulating morning.

Below, it is possible to see some photos of the event.
