The event will take place as part of the celebrations for the 1600th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Venice, organized by Ocean Space and the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe. It will discuss how the climate crisis, and its impact on the city and the surrounding lagoon, can present an opportunity for reflection on models of environmental and social regeneration.

Initial institutional greetings will be carried out by Ana Luiza Thompson-Flores (Director, UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe) and Markus Reymann (TBA21–Academy). The meeting will be moderated by IOC-UNESCO: Francesca Santoro (Programme Specialist Ocean Literacy) and Valentina Lovat (OL consultant). Presentations will be made by Francesca Bampa (Project officer, Science unit UNESCO Regional Bureau), Toto Bergamo Rossi (Venetian Heritage) Alberto Barausse (LIFE VIMINE) and Assessore Massimiliano De Martin (Municipality of Venice).
