On Wednesday October 26, 2022 - 4.30 pm (CEST) : Venice as a Mirror on the World. Local approaches to the certainty of global uncertainties @ VIU - Venice International University.
Guest Speaker: Jane Da Mosto, Executive Director @ We Are Here Venice
In this talk, Jane da Mosto will present a view of the historic city and the surrounding lagoon as a unified system, together with up-to-date insight into the main challenges faced by Venice and its population. Everything is interlinked, in terms of root causes of today’s problems as well as possible – and necessary – solutions.
By describing a number of current WahV projects, she will explain how addressing issues like mitigating the effects of the climate emergency and adaptation to sea level rise at the “laboratory scale” of Venice also serves to focus attention at the global level and can provide valuable, transferable experience for many other equally vulnerable places in the world.
Open to the public. For online attendance, registration is required:
