  • Msc Magnifica Riporta Le Crociere a Livorno,Il Traffico Passeggeri Nel
    5 Ottobre 2021 - Savelli: “Per le crociere livelli pre- Covid nel 2023” LIVORNO – I numeri pre-Covid dei passeggeri delle crociere, torneranno presumibilmente nel 2023. A confermarlo è Matteo Savelli, presidente della Porto Livorno 2000, che gestisce servizi passeggeri nel porto labronico. “Mancano gli americani e gli inglesi, ma anche i canadesi e i sudamericani, che nel 2019 erano i principali turisti che arrivavano a Livorno”. Il crocerista che scala oggi la città è tipicamente europeo, per lo più tedesco, aggiunge. Un settore che, inutile dirlo e ripeterlo, ha subito una perdita quasi totale nel 2020 e che ancora fatica a riprendersi. “Ad Agosto abbiamo accolto due navi, Settembre si chiuderà con 11 scali e una ventina di crociere sono attese per Ottobre”, ma si sta già lavorando con gli https://www.messaggeromarittimo.it/tag/matteo-savelli/ | 5 Ottobre 2021 - 5 Ottobre 2021 - armatori per programmare il prossimo biennio. Non è andata male, continua Savelli, ai traghetti: nonostante manchino all’appello circa 700 mila passeggeri rispetto al 2019, i numeri dell’estate sono stati soddisfacenti, un turismo che ha visto coinvolti maggiormente gli italiani. Msc Magnifica riporta le crociere a Livorno https://www.messaggeromarittimo.it/tag/matteo-savelli/ | 5 Ottobre 2021 - 5 Ottobre 2021 - LIVORNO – Msc Crociere riporta le crociere a Livorno e lo fa con la programmazione di sei scali di “Msc Magnifica” da oggi 20 Ottobre fino a Dicembre prossimo, dopo il lungo arresto che il traffico crocieristico ha subito in tutto il mondo a causa della pandemia da Covid-19. Si tratta senza dubbio di una bella notizia per il porto labronico, e non solo, che lascia ben sperare per il futuro e come sottolinea Matteo Savelli, presidente di Porto di Livorno 2000, sono state adottate “tutte le misure di sicurezza di concerto con la compagnia”.

April 4th 19171 Rough plan made at first visit A. The place where the explosion was B. New guest-house C. Church D. Refectory where there was a massacre E. Heroon F. Outbuilding with Venetian steps G. Main entrance H. Back entrance I. Place of cannons Ten kilometres east of Retimo the road to Arkadi branches off inland and in 2 hours one gets to the monastery (note: I came the reverse way on this first visit). At this point there is a high rolling plateau 500 metres above the sea and quite near the north edge of this is the monastery. A new church ten minutes north of the monastery is nearly on the edge of this plateau. At a later visit I came to Arkadi from, I think, Anogia and lost the way a good deal and arrived in the evening by recognising this new church and making for it, as it is conspicuous a long way off whilst the monastery itself is hidden from the north and east by the rising ground upon which this church stands. It can be seen from the sea, but the monastery itself cannot. A gorge wooded with scrub cuts into this plateau and almost at the top of this gorge at its east side is Arkadi. From the gorge one sees only the Heroon and the tops of a few trees by the moni.

  • Plan De Acción Insular Para La Sostenibilidad Energética
    ACTION PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLAND GRAN CANARIA ISLAND (2012-2020) April 2012 ACTION PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLAND Gran Canaria Island Executive summary European islands with fragile ecosystems and weak local economies suffer an extra pressure of island ecosystems, transportation systems, energy systems and water needs due to the activities related to tourism. The island authorities have realized the need for joining the common efforts in the global strategy of fighting against climate change and European initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions. Under the European directive to achieve the objective of 20-20-20 in 2020, the "Isle PACT: Pact of Islands project" is an initiative of a consortium of European islands that have committed to reduce CO2 emissions in order to meet EU objectives. The Canary archipelago has a high economic vulnerability due to the almost exclusive dependence on fossil primary energy sources and its high exposure to volatility of oil market. Facing this reality, over the past two decades the Regional Government has developed the regional energy plans in order to define the actions that aim at sustainable development of the sector and ensure future energy supply. Canary Islands have some unique peculiarities, reflected in various documents of agreement, both the state wide and European of Outermost Region. The singularities in the energy sector are also recognized. The remoteness of the continent and the fragmentation of the territory configurate the independent island power systems with small and weak grids that suppose an important technical restriction to maximization of Renewable Energy sources (RES) penetration, by its variable and intermittent nature.

  • Sustainable Transportation Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit Building a Low-Carbon Future Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit
    Guide 9 Sustainable transportation Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit Building a Low-Carbon Future Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit People in Canada take pride in this country’s natural landscapes, rich ecosystems and wildlife. But Canada’s Constitution doesn’t mention environmental rights and responsibilities. Municipalities across the country are recognizing and supporting their residents’ right to a healthy environment. By adopting the Blue Dot declaration, more than 150 municipal governments now support the right to clean air and water, safe food, a stable climate and a say in decisions that affect our health and well-being. For some municipalities, adopting the Blue Dot declaration is a clear statement about environmental initiatives already underway. For others, it’s a significant first step. Either way, after passing a declaration, many ask “What happens next?” This toolkit provides practical ideas for next steps. Its introduction and 13 downloadable guides cover topics related to human health, green communities and a low-carbon future. Written for policy-makers, each guide shares examples of policies and projects undertaken in communities in Canada and around the world. The goal is to inform, inspire and share good ideas and great practices that will lead to healthier, more sustainable communities now and in the future. The following guides are available: Introduction to the Blue Dot Municipal Toolkit Protecting Human Health Guide 1: Air quality Guide 2: Clean water Guide 3: Non-toxic environment Guide 4: Healthy food Creating Green Communities Guide 5: Access to green space Guide 6: Protecting and restoring biodiversity Guide 7: Zero waste Building a Low Carbon Future Guide 8: Transitioning to 100% renewable energy Guide 9: Green buildings Guide 10: Sustainable transportation Guide 11: Green economy Guide 12: Climate change adaptation Guide 13: Ecological footprint and land use planning To read more about municipal actions for environmental rights, and to access all the Blue Dot toolkit guides, visit www.____.org.

Those that took place between 2009 and 2017 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, their quantitative dimension and their intra-urban distribution are analysed in this study. This perspective allows an appreciation of their relationship with the unequal distribution of income and alien status, factors leading the investigations on the loss of property. In order to achieve this objective, the records of the Common Service of Notifications and Seizures have been used together with data of the Inland Revenue Ministry and Municipal Register, combining statistical and cartographical analysis with the purpose of finding associations Received: 07.06.2020 Accepted: 23.08.2020 Published: 19.11.2020 Published under the terms and conditions of an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license. and predictive factors. The study reveals that there is a great concentration of real estate deprivation in the central areas of the city and that the standards of distribution of dispossession are inversely related to the level of income of the urban districts and directly related to the foreign population.

    χω την τύχη, αλλά πάνω από όλα την τιµή, να είµαι γεννηµένος σε έναν από τους πιο ευλογηµένους τόπους της Κρήτης. Σε έναν τόπο που αναθράφηκα, που γαλουχήθηκα, που έκανα τα πρώτα µου βήµατα και είπα τις πρώτες µου λέξεις. Μεγαλώνοντας σ’ Εαυτόν τον τόπο συναναστράφηκα σπουδαίους ανθρώπους, ανθρώπους µε ήθος, µε αγνή καρδιά, αξιοπρέπεια και ήθος που πάλευαν να κρατήσουν τα ήθη και τα έθιµα αυτού του τόπου, περήφανοι για τα ένδοξα έργα των προγόνων τους. Δύσκολα ο ποιητής µπορεί να περιγράψει την απαράµιλλη οµορφιά που πλανιέται ανάµεσα στους ελαιώνες που καταλήγουν µέχρι την ακροθαλασσιά, την οµορφιά του σφυρίγµατος του αγέρα µέσα στα φαράγγια, το δέος µπροστά στο ηρωικό µοναστήρι του Αρκαδιού. Δύσκολα ο ζωγρά- φος θα µπορέσει να µεταφέρει στον καµβά του το γαλάζιο του ουρανού, το αντανάκλασµα του ήλιου στους τοίχους των βενετσιάνικων αρχοντικών, το γλαυκό της πεντακάθαρης απέραντης θάλασσας που απλώνεται γύρω µας, και τον γαλήνιο ουρανό του Αυγούστου µε την πανσέληνο του. Σας προσκαλώ να έρθετε και να γνωρίσετε από κοντά τον τόπο µας. Να γευτείτε τις οµορφιές του, την ιστορία του, το παραδοσιακό φαγητό του, το κρασί και την τσικουδιά του... Να αισθανθείτε τη φιλοξενία που θα σας δοθεί χωρίς ανταλλάγµατα. Καλώς ορίσατε στον Δήµο Αρκαδίου, στον τόπο µας... και να ‘στε σίγουροι πως θα τον αγαπήσετε σαν το σπίτι σας! ΜΑΝΩΛΑΚΑΚΗΣ ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛ ΔΗΜΑΡΧΟΣ ΑΡΚΑΔΙΟΥ πάρχουν στιγµές που γυρίζω το νου µου στο παρελθόν και αναπολώ τα περασµένα, τα όµορφα περασµένα… Τις καντάδες στα καλντερίµια για τις όµορφες κοπέλες… τα πανηγύρια να γιορτάζουν την χάρη των Αγίων µας… τις βεγγέρες τα καλοκαιριάτικα Υβράδια στις γειτονιές παρέα µε τα αστέρια…Βέβαια όλα αυτά δεν απέχουν πολύ µε το σήµερα αφού ακόµα και τώρα τα συναντάς κάθε στιγµή, κάθε λεπτό, κάνοντας µια βόλτα στα όµορφα χωριά µας, περπατώντας στα πλακόστρωτα σοκάκια, χαζεύοντας τους κήπους µε τα τριαντάφυλλα, τα γιασεµιά και τα αγιοκλήµατα πληµµυρισµένα από ευωδιές και ευχές.
