La scienza fa parte della nostra cultura? Qual è il futuro della ricerca nel nostro Paese? Intervenuto al Meet Me Tonight di Milano, Silvio Garattini, fondatore e direttore dell'Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri", in questa intervista al direttore di Scienza in Rete Luca Carra lancia un appello: bisogna credere nella ricerca e nel merito, per il bene del nostro paese.
The wildfires in Los Angeles and other extreme events, as well as their media coverage, highlight how immediate causes often overshadow the real issue: climate change, which increases the intensity and frequency of catastrophic phenomena. Tackling this crisis requires urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using already available technologies and investments to strengthen territorial resilience. Only a combination of mitigation and adaptation can prevent irreversible damage, ensuring a sustainable future for the next generations.
