We also would like to reiterate our support for the work of the International Court of Justice, including in the exercise of its advisory functions. Over the last three months, our discussions have demonstrated our collective commitment to addressing climate change and the threat it poses globally, and especially to those in particularly vulnerable situations, such as Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States.<\/p>\n<p>Allow me also to make three brief points to further explain our position.<\/p>\n<p>First, with regard to energy transition, Italy promotes the model of \u201ctechnological neutrality\u201d and \u201ccompetitive green transition\u201d, based on an \u201call-technologies approach\u201d. This model aims to identify the best solutions for sustainable development, based on scientific evidence and national priorities, while safeguarding the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries, which are vital to the manufacturing sector and to achieving climate neutrality at sustainable economic and social costs.<\/p>\n<p>Second, expansive interpretations of the Court\u2019s Opinion should be avoided, in general and, in particular, in the implementation of OP10 &#8211; including with regard to the application of the principle of non-refoulement in the context of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Third and lastly, we underline that dialogue and climate diplomacy &#8211; in particular through the normative and institutional instruments available under the UNFCCC &#8211; remain the best avenues for engaging with these complex issues.<\/p>\n<p>In this spirit, Italy will continue to work together with the rest of international community in all relevant fora.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madam President, Italy aligns itself with the statement delivered by the European Union and wishes to add the following remarks in its national capacity.
