Kleinstaat will Klimainvestoren als Bürger gewinnen, um die Welt zu verändern

AUCKLAND, Neuseeland, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — „Wir werden nicht abwarten, bis die Wellen unsere Häuser und Infrastruktur wegspülen“, erklärte der Staatschef der kleinsten Republik der Welt, kurz nachdem sein Land die COP29 als Startrampe für eines der weltweit innovativsten Projekte zur Klimaresilienz genutzt hatte.

„Während die Welt noch über Klimaschutzmaßnahmen debattiert, müssen wir entschlossene Schritte unternehmen, um die Zukunft unseres Landes zu sichern“, ergänzte David Adeang, Präsident von Nauru.

Als Mitglied des Climate Vulnerable Forum – einem Zusammenschluss von Entwicklungsländern, die besonders stark vom Klimawandel betroffen sind – ruft die Regierung von Nauru Investoren weltweit dazu auf, sich an einer mutigen Lösung zu beteiligen, die nicht nur für Nauru selbst, sondern für die gesamte Welt von Bedeutung ist.

Das Land startet angesichts der Klimakrise ein Projekt zur umfassenden Reform. Neben der Sicherung der Nahrungsmittel– und Wasserversorgung umfasst es auch die „Higher Ground Initiative“, mit der nahezu die gesamte Bevölkerung aus den Küstenregionen in höher gelegene Gebiete umgesiedelt werden soll.

Dieses Projekt ist gewaltig – manche würden es als kühn bezeichnen – und es ist kostenintensiv.

Doch der Mann, der für die Finanzierung eines Großteils der Initiative verantwortlich ist, setzt auf ein weltweit einzigartiges Staatsbürgerschaftsprogramm für Klimainvestoren und –unternehmer. Er berichtet von bereits großem internationalen Interesse von Menschen, die „Klimabürger“ werden wollen.

Der Neuseeländer Edward Clark bringt umfassende Erfahrung im internationalen Bankwesen, in der Bekämpfung von Finanzkriminalität und im Bereich Compliance mit. Aus diesem Grund wurde er von der Regierung Naurus zum CEO des Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program ernannt.

Clark betonte, dass es – anders als bei manchen umstrittenen Programmen zur Erlangung der Staatsbürgerschaft durch Investitionen – bei dem streng regulierten Programm in Nauru darum geht, „das Narrativ für klimagefährdete Länder zu verändern“.

„Wir wollen Menschen, denen die Zukunft unseres Planeten am Herzen liegt, als Bürger gewinnen. Unser Ziel ist es, Nauru von einem passiven Empfänger von Klimahilfen zu einem Inkubator für Klimainnovationen zu transformieren.“

Damit meint Clark, dass Nauru als Modell dafür dienen kann, wie wirklich nachhaltige Gemeinschaften sowie die notwendige Infrastruktur dafür entwickelt werden können.

„Klimaunternehmer können gemeinsam mit Nauru neue Lösungen entwickeln“, sagte er.

„Ökopreneure profitieren von der notwendigen Anschubfinanzierung für neue Technologien und Ansätze, während Nauru als Testfeld für innovative und kosteneffiziente Lösungen dient.“

Clark zeigte sich begeistert über das große Interesse an dem noch jungen Staatsbürgerschaftsprogramm.

„Die Staatsbürgerschaftsanträge, die wir erhalten haben, stammen von Menschen aus der ganzen Welt, die in Klimaresilienz investieren und Teil eines größeren Ziels werden wollen“, sagte er.

1000 Miglia 2025: Vesco-Salvinelli sechsmalige Champions in einem Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS von 1929

Brescia, Italien, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nach fünf Renntagen, 1900 Kilometern und über 400 eingesetzten Oldtimern ging heute die 43. Neuauflage der 1000 Miglia in Brescia erfolgreich zu Ende. Diese Sonderausgabe ließ die „Achterstrecke“ der legendären Vorkriegsausgaben wieder aufleben und verband symbolisch nicht nur den Norden und Süden, sondern auch den Osten und Westen Italiens – von der Adria bis zur Tyrrhenischen Küste.

Die Sieger waren erneut Andrea Vesco und Fabio Salvinelli, die mit ihrem treuen Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS die Nase vorn hatten. Trotz harter Konkurrenz durch Daniel Andres Erejomovich und Gustavo Llanos, die mit ihrem 1929er Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 SS am vierten Renntag sogar die Führung übernehmen konnten, sicherten sich Vesco und Salvinelli letztlich den Sieg. Auf dem dritten Platz landeten Tonconogy–Ruffini in einem 1931er 6C 1750 Gs.

Roland Hotz und Giordano Mozzi gewannen in einem F8 Spider die Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia, während sich Mirco Magni und Federico Giavardi in einem Polestar 4 den Sieg in der siebten Ausgabe der 1000 Miglia Green sicherten.

Ein Rennen, eine Reise, ein gemeinsames Ritual. Der „Rote Pfeil“ führte die Teilnehmenden durch kleine Dörfer und historische Städte, über Apenninenpässe und belebte Piazzas – jede Etappe verkörpert ein Stück Italien. Die Route folgte den verborgenen Wegen des Landes, die nicht in jedem Reiseführer stehen, aber die wahre Seele Italiens zeigen. Nach dem Start in der Viale Venezia erreichten die Teams am Abend Ferrara mit dem beeindruckenden Castello Estense. Am nächsten Tag führte die Strecke über die Kurven des Mugello und durch die Landschaft des Val d’Orcia bis nach Rom. Die dritte Etappe begann im Morgengrauen in der Hauptstadt. Vorbei an den noch schlafenden Palazzos führte sie hinauf nach Orvieto und weiter nach Arezzo, bevor sie abends in Cervia endete.Von dort führte die Strecke durch das Herz der Versilia, mit einer Durchfahrt durch die Marineakademie in Livorno und den historischen Kurven des Cisa–Passes. Auf dem Rückweg wurde der Poebene Tribut gezollt, mit Zwischenstopps in Cremona, Soncino und Franciacorta. Schließlich wurden die Autos und Teams in Brescia mit einem Musikfestival und einem Jubel empfangen, die dem „schönsten Rennen der Welt“ würdig waren. Heute ging das Rennen zu Ende. Doch die Bilder, Gesichter und Emotionen leben weiter.

1000 Miglia 2025 : l’équipage Vesco-Salvinelli sacré six fois champions au volant d’une Alfa Romeo 6c 1750 Ss de 1929

BRESCIA, Italie, 24 juin 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Après 5 jours de course, 1 900 km parcourus et plus de 400 voitures de collection en mouvement sur les routes, c’est à Brescia que la quarante–troisième reconstitution des 1000 Miglia s’est achevée aujourd’hui. Cette édition spéciale a redonné vie au fameux itinéraire en huit des éditions épiques d’avant–guerre tout en unissant symboliquement non seulement le Nord et le Sud, mais aussi l’Est et l’Ouest, de la mer Adriatique jusqu’à la côte tyrrhénienne.

Encore une fois, Andrea Vesco et Fabio Salvinelli en ont été les champions. Et c’est au volant de leur fidèle Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 S qu’ils se sont imposés, malgré le fait que Daniel Andres Erejomovich et Gustavo Llanos ne leur ont pas facilité la tâche à bord de leur 6C 1500 S de 1929, parvenant même à arracher la première place du classement à l’issue de la quatrième journée de course. L’équipage Tonconogy–Ruffini a obtenu la troisième marche du podium grâce à sa 6C 1750 Gs de 1931.

Roland Hotz et Giordano Mozzi ont quant à eux remporté les Ferrari Tribute 1000 Miglia sur une F8 Spider, tandis que c’est au volant d’une Polestar 4 que Mirco Magni et Federico Giavardi ont remporté la septième édition des 1000 Miglia Green.

Une course, un voyage, un rituel collectif. En traversant des villages, des villes d’art, des cols des Apennins ainsi que des places festives, la Flèche Rouge a transformé chaque étape en un instantané de l’Italie. L’itinéraire a suivi les voies sinueuses de la petite Italie, celles qui ne figurent pas toujours dans les brochures touristiques, mais dont la fréquentation offre une parfaite restitution de l’âme du pays dans ce qu’elle a de plus authentique. Partis de Viale Venezia, les équipages ont atteint Ferrare en goûtant la magie nocturne du château d’Este, avant d’atteindre le lendemain la capitale italienne en empruntant les virages du Mugello et les collines du Val d’Orcia. À l’aube, c’est à l’occasion de la troisième étape qu’ils ont fait leurs adieux à Rome en se glissant entre ses palais encore endormis avant de grimper vers Orvieto et Arezzo, pour une arrivée nocturne à Cervia. De là, ils ont procédé à une traversée spectaculaire au cœur de la Versilia, puis leur convoi est passé à l’intérieur de l’Académie navale de Livourne avant de remonter les courbes historiques du col de la Cisa. Le voyage de retour a rendu un véritable hommage à la vallée du Pô en traversant Crémone, Soncino et Franciacorta. Et enfin, ce fut le tour de Brescia d’accueillir les voitures et leurs équipages avec un festival de musique et une ovation digne de la plus belle course du monde. Aujourd’hui, la course est terminée. Mais ce qui en reste – les images, les visages et les émotions – poursuit sa course palpitante.

  • The restaurant selection for the inaugural edition will be unveiled towards the end of the year 2025.
  • The renowned anonymous MICHELIN Inspectors are already in the field, meticulously exploring the Kingdom's vibrant culinary scene.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The MICHELIN Guide announced today its latest expansion into the vibrant culinary landscapes of Saudi Arabia. This new selection will focus on the bustling cities of Riyadh and Jeddah, while also beginning to explore the diverse regions of the Kingdom, including Khobar, AlUla, and many more. The prestigious guide revealed that its independent, anonymous inspectors have been thoroughly exploring these areas to identify the most outstanding dining establishments. This selection will highlight the best of Saudi Arabia's dining scene, showcasing talented chefs and teams who embody passion, creativity, and respect for local culinary traditions.

“These past few years, our MICHELIN inspectors have been keeping a watchful eye on The Kingdom’s culinary progression and continue to relish the wonderful spectrum that this fast–developing country has to offer,” explained Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide.

Saudi Arabia stands as a unique destination, offering an exquisite blend of ancient history, rich culture, and modern luxury. The Kingdom's diverse landscapes, from the vast deserts to the stunning Red Sea coastline, provide a backdrop for unforgettable experiences. It is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Diriyah, and its deep historical and cultural heritage sets it apart. This distinctive blend makes Saudi Arabia an unmatched destination for food lovers, history enthusiasts, and avid travelers.

The warmth and generosity of the Saudi people further enhance the travel experience, making every visitor feel welcome and valued. From the heartwarming traditional Saudi restaurants keen to preserve and showcase recipes that have been handed down through the generations, to the always–packed restaurants, and jaw–dropping malls such as VIA Riyadh that feature renowned global brands.

Saudi Arabia's diverse and dynamic food culture, from the aromatic spices of traditional dishes to the contemporary creations of modern chefs, is now set to receive the global recognition it deserves. The MICHELIN Guide's presence will not only highlight the culinary talents within the Kingdom but also attract food enthusiasts and connoisseurs from around the globe, eager to explore the unique and exquisite flavors that Saudi Arabia has to offer.

Additionally, our inspectors observed an impressive culinary diversity, where American cuisine mingles with Japanese, Chinese, Greek, and Thai. Whether it's exceptional Saudi dishes or global favorites, Saudi Arabia offers something for every international traveler eager to explore the captivating sights while savoring the diverse culinary offerings.

Mayada Badr, the CEO of the Saudi Culinary Arts Commission, said: “Our collaboration with the MICHELIN Guide marks an important milestone in celebrating the unique and diverse culinary scene of Saudi Arabia. It shines a light on the creativity and excellence of our chefs and restaurants, and invites the world to discover the distinct flavors and experiences the Kingdom has to offer.”

For decades, the MICHELIN Guide has been the gold standard in recognizing and celebrating exceptional dining experiences. Its arrival in Saudi Arabia is a testament to the country's burgeoning culinary landscape, where tradition meets innovation, and local flavors are elevated to new heights. As the MICHELIN Guide begins its journey in the Kingdom, it invites both locals and visitors to embark on a culinary adventure like no other.

The MICHELIN Guide Methodology
The MICHELIN Guide was created in 1900 by the Michelin tire company to support the growth of automobile mobility. Since then, it has remained loyal to its original mission: to settle in mature gastronomic destinations, to guide international travelers and local foodies to the best restaurants, to highlight world culinary scenes, and to promote travel culture.

The selection will be made according to the MICHELIN Guide’s historic methodology, focusing only on the quality of the cuisine proposed by the restaurants, which the anonymous MICHELIN Guide Inspectors evaluate by following five universal criteria:

  • The quality of the ingredients
  • The mastery of cooking techniques
  • The harmony of flavors
  • The personality of the cuisine
  • The consistency both over time and through the menu as a whole

The MICHELIN Guide Restaurant Selection
The MICHELIN Guide conveys its restaurant reviews through an extensive system of distinctions, which are awarded to special restaurants within its full selection. The most famous distinctions are its globally renowned MICHELIN Stars awarded to the restaurant offering the best culinary experiences. One MICHELIN Star is awarded to restaurants for “high–quality cooking that is worth a stop,” two MICHELIN Stars for “excellent cooking that is worth a detour,” and three MICHELIN Stars for “exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.”

Alongside the coveted Star ratings, the selection also includes the popular Bib Gourmand category, a distinction awarded to restaurants that provide good quality food at a moderate price.

The MICHELIN Guide is committed to maintaining the highest global standards in its restaurant selection process. Our team of anonymous, experienced, and expert inspectors conduct continuous and rigorous evaluations of restaurants. These evaluations are carried out objectively and independently, ensuring that external factors do not influence the results. This dedication to impartiality and excellence guarantees that only outstanding dining establishments are recognized.

For the first time, the MICHELIN Guide Saudi Arabia 2026 selection will be revealed in three stages. On the 15th of each month from October to December 2025, the inaugural selection for Saudi Arabia will be unveiled on our dedicated digital platform: guide.michelin.com/en/food–and–travel–saudi–arabia
