The blue economy is one of the main challenges for our planet and all of creation. The global political, economic, and social system cannot overlook the importance of water, the most precious resource for the planet, covering two-thirds of the globe. Hence, it is crucial that a system built on circular economy principles protects and enhances this resource for the well-being and sustainable development of our beloved planet. This issue is not only highly relevant but also urgent. It requires concrete action at the economic, cultural, and social levels. Water must be at the forefront of development, particularly when considering Italy, its geographical location, and above all, its vocation. It should be an integral part of and involve the purpose of the entire Italian and European political, economic, and social system.
