Women Actress of Dialogue
The Joint Action “KĪMIYYA: Women Actress of Dialogue”, conceived and organized by the Fondazione Mediterraneo and 12 Anna Lindh Foundation National Networks adhere to it: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Mauretania, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovenia and Tunisia.
The action aims to gather and deepen the work done so far by formulating concrete recommendations and operational guidelines
Women are the main “promoters” of connections between civil societies: by supporting their training, education and access to new tools and modern digital technologies, it will be possible to facilitate the intercultural dialogue in the Euro-Med region, reduce migration and address the causes of conflict.
The name KĪMIYYA has been chosen because in the ancient languages of Mediterranean culture (Aramaic, Arab, Greek and other languages), it means “to embrace”, “melt”, “put together”, “meet”, “share” and “mix”.

A delegation from the "United States of the World", the "Fondazione Mediterraneo" and the "Kimiyya" network participated in the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP 30): the largest global event for discussions and negotiations on climate change, held in Belém, Pará, from 10 to 21 November 2025.
The chosen city, in the heart of the Amazon, provided the world with a unique opportunity to discuss climate solutions, strengthen multilateralism and promote consensus on global goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Italy is taking action, in line with the Paris Agreement, by supporting cross-sectoral solutions and building resilient partnerships, with the aim of contributing to the management of the ever-increasing risks associated with climate change.
Currently, there are 198 Parties (197 countries plus the European Union) to the Convention.
A week of consultations between the Brazilian presidency and other countries at COP 30 in Belém, Brazil, has failed to make any progress in overcoming the still conflicting positions on three issues: climate ambition, finance and trade barriers.
"The stakes are too high to allow procedural tactics or deadlocked discussions to hinder progress", warned COP 30 President André Corrêa do Lago, a Brazilian diplomat, acknowledging the limited progress made since Monday. Do Lago announced the publication of a “note” that will simply summarise each country's position, with the aim of “structuring our talks”: a sort of to-do list for ministers arriving in Belém on Monday for the final five days of talks.
Countries will “decide how to proceed”, the diplomat said.
"The planet, said Secretary General Michele Capasso, ’is once again being sacrificed for the economic interests of the great powers: the cry of alarm here in the Amazon to stop the destruction of the earth has been in vain".

The “United States of the World” – representing 181 countries and 16,000 civil society organisations – together with the autonomous sections “Fondazione Mediterraneo” and “Kimiyya”, support the “Appeal to Italian institutions, citizens and believers in Italy” proposed on 29 August by:
The appeal stems from the conviction that there is an urgent need to encourage any initiative that promotes dialogue in order to stem hatred, safeguard coexistence, purify language and weave peace. This is the responsibility of individuals and collective entities.
"It is an appeal that expresses how much we have in common, said Secretary-General Michele Capasso, put to the test by what is happening, but with the certainty that dialogue must find solutions to what humiliates our faiths and resist".
The appeal is open to all who share this common concern that generates shared responsibility, setting aside, in this document, what divides us, to strengthen what unites us, in a common effort to understand each other's pain and reasons, generating a renewed commitment to find just and lasting solutions for all.
