Meeting di Rimini 2026 focuses on social impact and sustainability

The 2026 Meeting di Rimini features various discussions on social impact, sustainability, and community welfare. The GSE organized a roundtable on Renewable Energy Communities (CER), highlighting how energy sharing can combat energy poverty and foster social cohesion. Data presented shows significant growth in Italy, with over 30,000 admitted applications under PNRR measures totaling 779 million euros in contributions.

Other key initiatives include Novo Nordisk’s ‘Circular for Kids’ project, which repurposes event communication materials into educational kits for pediatric hospitals. Save the Children is hosting talks on the social inclusion of unaccompanied migrant minors. Additionally, the Diocese of Rimini announced charitable contributions, including a football field for inmates and support for a hospital project in Gaza.

Discussions also addressed disability rights, emphasizing the need for community-based support rather than just assistance, and logistics solutions for managing unclaimed parcels to give them a second life.
