ROME, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- In spite of the pandemic, the world must keep moving towards a decarbonized future based on a circular economy and sustainable development before it's too late, experts and government officials have said at a green economy conference.

"The ship may be on fire, but it's about to crash into an iceberg," President of Sustainable Development Foundation Edo Ronchi said at the 9th edition of the States General of the Green Economy, a yearly conference which usually takes place in the northern Italian city of Rimini but was held online this year due to the pandemic.
