The document provides an overview of water services and waste management in Italy. It discusses:
1) The multi-level governance system for water services - from the national level Ministry down to local operators.
2) Issues like the large number of small operators and lack of data.
3) Regulations on technical quality, tariffs, and incentives for operators to improve infrastructure and performance.
4) Trends showing increases in planned and realized investments correlated with improved technical quality outcomes.
On the 23rd of January 2008, the European Commission launched a proposal for a Directive on promoting the use of renewable energy. The Directive is designed to address all sectors of the renewable energy sector with the goal of reaching a target of 20% of Europe's energy being produced from renewable sources by 2020.
The national targets and action plans are presented, as well as indicative trajectories. Accounting rules are also detailed. The Directive describes how Guarantees of Origin will work as a control and trading instrument through issuing, cancelling and transferring. The text includes strong guidelines and recommendations for administrative procedures, regulations and codes. Finally, attention will be given on issues related to electricity grid access.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

7. ARERA adopted a comprehensive definition of tariff proposal, named “specific regulatory scheme”, to be
adopted by EGA, with the involvement of service supplier, and to be detailed for a four-year regulatory
period. The “specific regulatory scheme” includes:
Tariff methodology: regulatory scheme
disentangling all the relevant measures to
be implemented in order to achieve the
predefined quality objectives
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT
PLAN (IMP)
FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC PLAN (FEP)
specifying revenues, average tariff for end-
users and all the costs to be reimbursed to
the supplier
ENTRUSTMENT CONTRACT (EC)
clarifying liabilities of EGA and service
supplier according to the standard
framework defined by ARERA
Evidence-based information, both on accounting data and on technical
and contractual parameters, are combined with the objectives to be
achieved and with the corresponding envisaged measures, in a
framework in which the roles and liabilities of the parties are clarified.
8. Infrastructure measures: Instruments for Planning
INFRASTRUCTURE
& MANAGEMENT
PLAN (IMP)
includes:
Criticalities of the territory
Targets to reach, in order to
solve critical issues
Infrastructures to realise during
the regulatory period to reach
targets
STRATEGIC
INVESTMENTS
PLAN (SIP)
includes strategic infrastructures to realize:
- which realization requires necessarily more than 1 year, also due to their
technical complexity
- considered a priority by the Local Authority
time period 2020-2027
admitted infrastructures:
- for every service (aqueduct, sewerage and wastewater treatment)
- useful life not less than 20 years
the time schedule specifies elements of
coherency with River basins planning and
foreseen public contributions
Since the 1st tariff method:
Since 2020:
by 2027, should foresee a rate of
renovation coherent with the
asset useful life and have to
specify convergence measures

1. According to MTR-2 the incoming operator has to pay the outgoing operator a residual
value, 𝑉𝑅𝑆𝑎, valued as:
𝑉𝑅𝑎: the residual value of assets whose
ownership is transferred to the incoming
operator, calculated as
𝑉𝑅𝑅𝐶,a : costs not yet recovered, to be paid
to the outgoing operator
Uniform regulation of the takeover procedure
and of the methods for paying the
reimbursement value to the outgoing
operator are under definition: see procedure
currently under consultation about the
definition of concession contract schemes

INVESTMENT 1.1
Interventions aimed at bridging the waste
management gaps relating to both plants
installed capacity and quality standards among
different Italian regions/areas, in order to make up
for delays in achieving the current and new
objectives set by European and national laws
Scope: improvement of the MSW separate
collection network, construction of new
treatment/recycling plants for organic waste,
multi-material, glass, paper packaging and
construction of innovative plants for particular
waste streams
INVESTMENT 1.2
Interventions aimed at strengthening the sorted
waste collection network and building
innovative treatment and recycling plants to
achieve the following recycling targets: 55%
WEEE; 85% paper/cardboard; 65% plastic waste;
100% recovery of the textile sector
REFORM 1.2
Development of a National Program for Waste
Management (PNGR), aimed at promoting:
• sustainability in the use of resources and
reduction of potential negative environmental
impacts
• gradual mitigation of socio-economic gaps
• awareness and virtuous behavior of economic
actors and citizens for waste reduction and
valorization
• management of the waste cycle aimed at
achieving climate neutrality goals

Environment & Energy (MASE) and ARERA
