SUMMARY:VSF at COP30 | Venice as a dual model for climate adaptation - Infrastructure meets nature-based learning
DESCRIPTION:“Venice as a dual model for climate adaptation – Infrastructure meets nature-based learning” is the title of the side event organised by Venice Sustainability Foundation at the Italian Pavilion “Made for Our Future” at COP30 in Belém\, Brazil. \nThe event presents Venice as a dual model of climate adaptation\, where advanced engineering solutions combine with the resilience of nature\, while integrating a widespread system of education and continuous learning. \nThe MOSE system – an integrated complex of works inside and outside the lagoon – is proof of how large-scale infrastructure and nature-based solutions (NBS) can work together. The morphological restoration of the lagoon\, plant-based purification systems (phytoremediation)\, and ecological corridors have\, in fact\, enhanced the effectiveness and adaptive capacity of MOSE in the long term\, contributing to the restoration of the lagoon’s balance. \nAt the same time\, the City Campus project – a VSF thematic area dedicated to developing the knowledge economy in Venice – aims to transform Venice into a veritable open-air laboratory\, where researchers\, institutions\, and citizens collaborate to test local climate adaptation strategies through field learning. \nVenice thus positions itself as a place that is both a barrier and a laboratory against the climate crisis.\nThis event aims to share replicable methodologies and governance models that can transform vulnerable coastal areas into campuses for resilience education\, offering a sustainable adaptation model that is scalable globally and paving the way for a more resilient and inclusive urban future. \nThe initiative is organized by VSF with CORILA\, Iuav University of Venice (UNESCO Chair on Heritage and Urban Regeneration)\, the University of Southern Denmark (SDU\, UNESCO Chair on Urban Resilience)\, and in collaboration with Climate Policy Initiative (CPI)\, SAVE Spa\, and Thetis Spa. \nThe programme is available at the following link.

SUMMARY:Venice\, resilience\, cultural heritage: the international conference and closing event of "Intelligent Venice"
DESCRIPTION:Rising sea levels are a global phenomenon that endangers not only the environment and the economy\, but also the very identity of coastal communities. Coastal areas are among the most densely populated regions on the planet\, hosting 11 of the world’s 15 largest megacities. Over 600 million people currently reside less than 10 metres above sea level\, a number that is projected to double by the end of the 21st century. These territories\, which serve as nerve centers for many human activities\, require adaptation strategies.  \nIn this scenario\, Venice appears as an international model of resilience.  \nAs a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, Venice has already experienced the consequences of sea level rise and is currently developing innovative solutions to protect its cultural heritage. For these reasons\, it has been recognised as a Resilience Hub as part of the “Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030)” campaign promoted by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR).  \nHow\, then\, can we safeguard our cultural heritage\, both tangible and intangible\, in the face of this challenge? How can we ensure the resilience of coastal cities while preserving the link between urbs (the physical city) and civitas (the community)? \nAligned  with the programme of Biennale della Sostenibilità 2025\, which is dedicated to the balance between urbs and civitas\, Venice Sustainability Foundation is organising a day of reflection and international dialogue on the theme of resilience. \nThe event is structured in two parts: \n1. International conference “Coastal cities\, climate resilience and cultural heritage protection”\n9.30 am – 1.30 pm (admission from 9.00 am)\, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale \nThis meeting\, organised by VSF in collaboration with UNDRR\, aims to create a space for discussion among coastal cities worldwide\, to develop concrete initiatives and foster a lasting network of relationships.\nThe event aims to promote constructive dialogue between experts\, public administrators\, and citizens to define adaptation strategies that take into account both the urbs – with its physical vulnerabilities – and the civitas – with its capacity for resilience and its deep connection to the territory.\nAt the end of the conference\, a new publication by VSF will be presented: “History of Venice’s resilience. Economic\, social\, and urban challenges and transformations over the last two centuries” (“Storia della resilienza di Venezia. Sfide e trasformazioni economiche\, sociali e urbanistiche degli ultimi due secoli”\, currently only available in Italian).  \nA light lunch will be served (1.30 pm – 2.30 pm). \n2. Closing event of the exhibition “Intelligent Venice: the oldest city of the future”\, Special Project of Venice Sustainability Foundation (VSF) for the Biennale Architettura 2025\n2.30 pm – 4 pm\, Tesa dell’Isolotto\, Darsena Grande dell’Arsenale \nThe exhibition tells the story of an extraordinary millenary project\, a history of medieval inventions and contemporary technologies\, of interventions on nature and anthropisation\, of survival and resilience strategies\, through which the city’s ability to survive a hostile environment has unfolded over centuries\, thanks to the constant exercise of intelligence. \nThe program is available at the following link. \nFor information: info@vsf.foundation \nBIOGRAPHIES OF THE CONFERENCE SPEAKERS: link. \nCONFERENCE\nAudio recordings\nLive video\n \nConference materials:\n\nVideo message by Kamal Kishore\, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction\, and Head of UNDRR – LINK\nSpeakers’ biographies – LINK\nFrancesco Musco – Research Director of Università Iuav di Venezia\, President of CORILA and Vice-president of the Center for Studies and Research on Climate Change\, presentation\, LINK\nAugustìn Sànchez-Arcilla – Professor\, Maritime Eng Lab Barcelonatech Univ Pol Catalunya\, presentation\, LINK \nAbdulkadir Shettima – Executive Director of African School of Regulation\, presentation\, LINK\nNatalia Alonso Cano – Chief of UNDRR Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia\, presentation\, LINK  \nMimoun Aalaoul – Geologist\, Mohammed First University\, Nador (Morocco)\, presentation\, LINK\nPaulino Manuel Omoìne – Provincial Director of Territorial Development and Environment Prov.
