With the presence of Mayor Francisco Azcué, a meeting was held this Monday morning with representatives from the National Undersecretariat of Environment, seeking to advance the local implementation of the Climate Change Adaptation Project on the Uruguay River.
The meeting was attended by the Government Secretary of the Municipality of Concordia, Luciano Dell´Olio, the national team coordinator, Laureano Corvalán; as well as Héctor Bassani and Patricia La Nasa, representatives of the National Undersecretariat of Environment.
In this regard, Government Secretary Luciano Dell´Olio stated that the meeting “allowed us to update the information on this program, since, after it was signed, it was interrupted by the pandemic and changes in administration. Being able to receive this delegation is one more step to continue working and adding actions within the Network of Municipalities for Climate Change Adaptation.”
Dell´Olio highlighted that what “is sought, as we always say in this administration, are solutions for the community of Concordia. In that sense, together with officials and experts, the idea is to continue discussing and planning effective strategies that mitigate the effects of climate change in the Uruguay River region, especially regarding extreme hydroclimatic events.”
For his part, Laureano Corvalán indicated that this meeting “served to get in touch with the new administration and be able to align the objectives of the project, which has already been in execution for three years but is always in need of being updated with the needs of the territory.”
It is worth mentioning that the initiative promotes the reduction of the vulnerability of coastal cities and ecosystems along the Uruguay River. And regarding strictly local actions, the focus is placed on protection against coastal erosion in the works being carried out at the water treatment plant.
