In April 2017, Utilitalia and FEEM signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at increasing their mutual cooperation on sustainable development issues and promoting research, education and dissemination on environment, energy and climate topics. The huge value of science popularization to sensitize private bodies and local institutions is an instrument to explore risks and opportunities toward a collective effort for mitigating climate change impacts.

FEEM cooperates with Utilitalia by organizing scientific events and dissemination initiatives to promote communication within the multi-stakeholders community; by developing joint research projects on the development process towards the sustainable development goals; and by implementing networking activities in order to encourage the mutual knowledge about climate change issues related to private companies and local public institutions.

Utilitalia is a Federation of utilities, operating public services in the fields of water, environmental, electricity and gas. It was established after the merger between Federutility and Federambiente.
