Rome A Pivotal Media Gathering for Climate Action
Rome, Italy – On April 22nd, 2025, a crucial year for renewing global climate commitments, the city of Rome will be the focus of Earth Action Day. Katheen Rogers, the President of EARTHDAY.ORG, the driving force behind the global Earth Day movement, will host a prestigious news event bringing together some of the most important voices in Italy, as they collectively back renewable energy.
“Earth Day is the cornerstone of my year, and this year, Italy represents the perfect backdrop for a message of unity around the critically important subject of energy. We will demonstrate that renewable energy transcends political divides. Embracing it delivers multiple benefits simultaneously: strengthening the global economy, creating millions of new jobs, enhancing energy independence, and improving affordability for both businesses and citizens alike. On top of that, it benefits human health and the health of the planet. This is not about politics— it is about pragmatic solutions that benefit us all. Which is why this is such a unique gathering of political, economic, faith, and industry leaders.” Kathleen Rogers, President EARTHDAY.ORG
