VIDEO | Marini (Cai):“Participatory path for a holistic approach”

Marini, coordinator of the 101st CAI Congress:"In arriving at theses to think about, we must be neither self-certifying nor self-celebratory"

ROME – “We are at the end of a long journey that has taken us nine months, and this must be a congress capable of speaking outside of us” and “we tried to have a holistic approach to keep together everything that can be related to the mountains”. It was "a participatory process" to arrive at "theses to think about" with the contribution of experts in the sector because "we must be neither self-certifying nor self-celebratory".Raffaele Marini, coordinator of the 101st CAI Congress, says it from the stage introducing the work of the meeting of the Italian Alpine Club underway in Rome.With respect to awareness of the emergency posed by the changes "we tried to take away space from skeptics, because skepticism undermines reason and skeptics are unfortunately very widespread", says Marini.We started from the concept of real sustainability and we posed the problem of not falling into its cacophonous use", continues the Coordinator of the CAI Congress. The three tables "represent the three legs which must be equivalent and equivalent", and the jobs are distributed among the themes natural capital, responsible attendance and territorial economics and policies.

In a more sustainable approach towards the high lands “we must be able to limit ourselves, but to limit ourselves we must know and not accept it as a fashion fact”, says Marini, taking up one of the passages of the CAI president Antonio Montani, with the theme it is at the center of the table on responsible attendance.Finally, with the theme of climate change running through all the works, the Coordinator of the CAI Congress points out that "there are many doubts regarding COP28 which will open in a few days but we are leaving a vehicle of hope, a lot will depend on us and how we will be able to celebrate Mountain Day on 11 December“, he concludes.
