Challenging the crisis: the IZSV’s example

Pubblicato il 02/07/2013Read time: 1 min

The Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSV) not only managed to balance the books but was also able to get a final budget for 2012, approved at the end of May, with a gain of more than two milions of euro. Such a result is no small thing, considering the difficult period that the public administration is dealing with. Two millions of euro represents almost 5 per cent of the whole production, with a profit similar to that of an industry.

This gain comes as a consequence of an increase in the activities (9%) and, most of all, of strict cost avoidance, with particular attention to the expenses due to personnel, non-healthcare goods and external collaborations. All these successes were the result of the industriousness of the whole staff and of a careful planning based on concrete criteria, following a course pursued by all the managing authorities within the IZSV.

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.

Environment

Even in the face of the vast Los Angeles wildfires—still ongoing—as in other recent circumstances, the media's attention is primarily focused on the most immediate and “proximal” causes: the malfunctioning of the power grid, insufficient water reserves, the unpreparedness of newly hired firefighters, and so on.
