These case studies are expected to provide information on the interaction between a range of PESTE factors, at various levels, and the parties and processes involved in decision-making, including the constraints on decisions and objectives of decision-makers, so that models can be developed of these interactions to guide future decision-makers. In the last 20 years, a number of decisions have been taken in Rome which have affected the institutional and organisational structure of water supply and sanitation services. Initially, the municipal multi-utility (energy and water) undertaking ACEA was restructured under full public ownership and management. In a second phase, the municipal enterprise was corporatised and listed on the stock exchange, although it remained majority owned by the municipality. The company was then transformed into a water multinational, exploiting opportunities in transition and developing countries as well as in Italy, as the Galli Law was being implemented in a number of ATOs and operating contracts put out for tender. In doing so, Acea has set up an alliance with a major water and electricity multinational, Suez, which now owns a minority stake in Acea‘s own capital. The new corporate structure has certainly facilitated Acea‘s expansion strategy but has also proved to imply a number of drawbacks. For example, the municipality has been recently considering to sell another tranche of its shares and reduce its stake below 50% of the capital but has refrained from doing so due to the adverse conditions of the share market (Acea‘s shares have been trading negatively for a long period despite positive financial results). Also, the company‘s expansion and diversification strategy led Acea to invest in the telecommunications sector, a move which proved unsuccessful and led the management to write-off its activities and refocus on core energy and water operations. 2 City background As of October 2001, Rome counted over 2.6 million residents. 3 Water and wastewater undertaking 3.1 Background The municipal enterprise ACEA has provided water supply and sanitation services to the commune of Rome since 1985. In 1992, Acea‘s original legal status, that of —azienda municipalizzata“, has been changed into —azienda speciale“ and in 1998 into that of a PLC listed on the stock exchange. Following the implementation of the Galli Law, a subsidiary of Acea has been appointed as the only water supply and sanitation operator under a 30-year concession for the ATO-2 area, including Rome and other 111 municipalities

Major challenges are to improve both the quantity and quality of the food we produce, in an environmentally sustainable way and with acceptable social and economic costs, and to reduce the diseases arising from malnutrition, unhealthy eating and over-consumption. Extirpation of hunger, reduction of infant mortality, provision of water for agriculture, and provision clean water for drinking, are all aims of the Future of Science Program as embodied in the Venice Charter of 2005. This charter, endorsed by scientists, economists, philosophers, theologians, men of letters, jurists and politicians from all over the world, calls for scientific endeavour to place itself at the service of humanity. The Future of Science Conferences are then an expression of the humanistic face of science - science for progress, science that prioritises human life and dignity, science that safeguards the equilibria of the planet. As with previous Congresses, a concluding document summarizing the views and recommendations of the participants will be produced.

Fondazione Giorgio Cini, This year’s theme - The Energy Challenge - pertains directly with an important declaration of the Venice Charter (strategic document for the Future of Science Island of San Giorgio Maggiore. programme) that “applied research must be concerned with goals that are essential for the future of humanity, including improvement of energy efficiency and reduction of fossil fuel use”. The Conference starting point is a proposition on which almost everyone now agrees: fossil fuels can no longer be the mainstay of humanity’s energy supply. However the search for alternative energy sources cannot be left to science and industry alone, but must involve the whole of society because the choices are momentous and the political and ethical implications far-reaching. It will be necessary to strike balances between impacts on productivity and the environment and to manage the economic and social costs. To successfully move away from fossil fuel dependence we need to free ourselves from outmoded ideological baggage, and the vested and local interests that suffocate innovation in energy policy. It will also be necessary to make the universal, objective and future-orientated voice of science heard as never before; this may be achieved, as the Venice Charter affirms, by actively reasserting the humanism of science, its intrinsic spirit of tolerance, and its incompatibility with absolutism of all forms.
