WAME & EXPO2015, the new association for the World Access to Modern Energy is an alliance between Expo 2015 S.p.A. and eight leading Italian and European energy companies – A2A, Edison, Enel, Eni, E.ON Italia, Gas Natural Italia, GDF SUEZ Energia Italia and Tenaris.
WAME & Expo2015 aims to raise awareness of the lack of access to modern forms of energy by several initiatives to highlight good practices, case-studies and projects. The access to modern forms of energy can increase the availability of food resources and drinking water, and significantly reduce the level of extreme poverty in the world: the energy access is really a key element for a better future of many communities.
“I believe it is a duty and a responsibility for the worldwide energy sector also”, commented Prof. Pippo Ranci, President of WAME, “to contribute to the ambitious project announced by the United Nations to make access to energy universal by 2030. WAME aims to be a source of dissemination and information about this emergency and its solutions. ”
“WAME & Expo2015 develops an important part of the topics Expo2015 will address”, said Giuseppe Sala, Commissioner of Expo2015. “This initiative, along with other theme-related projects, will place Expo2015 at the center of the global debate on the crucial issues of food, water and energy for a sustainable development that ensures the human well-being.”
