00:00Creating an integrated, environmental, economic and social model of sustainable development for the city of Venice and its metropolitan area that can revitalize the local socio-economy guaranteeing, contextually, the protection and conservation of the environmental, historical and cultural heritage, as well as the strengthening and cohesion of the local community.
00:25This is the goal of the Venice Capital Foundation of Sustainability in Venice, Sustainability Foundation, which has organized a meeting with the media to discuss the activities carried out in 2024 and future projects with President Renato Brunetta.
00:40The foundation was born to attract sustainable investments in Venice. It is the only way to save the city, which is now saved by the waters, thanks to the MOSE, it must also be saved from the economic point of view, that is, jobs, young people, families. This is the future of Venice.
01:04To do this, investments are needed, investments in the future, sustainable investments, investments that aim at energy, environment, urban sustainability, over-tourism, excess tourism. This is the task of the foundation, to attract sustainable investments.
01:30To do this, we have put together 47 partners, among founders and co-founders, the largest scientific institutions in the city, the academies, the universities, the CNR and then the largest multinational companies, Italian and foreign.
01:48This is our task. With 2024, we had at least 100 MOSE elevations. An elevation of MOSE means that Venice has been preserved by high waters. From the beginning of the elevation of MOSE, October 3, 2020, to 2024, there have been 100 elevations of mobile barriers.
02:12Venice has been preserved by 100 floods and has given an extraordinary sign of the future. Having this awareness, we look forward to the next decades, thanks to this extraordinary work, which is MOSE, and thanks to the work we are doing to attract sustainable investments.
02:36If for the foundation 2024 has been profitable and favorable, 2025 is expected to be even richer in initiatives.
02:44Since it is a rare year, the year in which we organize the Biennale of Sustainability, therefore a program of events, activities, conferences, exhibitions, very articulated, which goes to tell and discuss with international interlocutors,
03:05the issues, the problems and also some achievements that the foundation deals with, with those who deal with the same issues, the same problems, on the great field of sustainability and territorial development in other contexts of the world.
03:24Starting from what is codified as the issue of climate resilience, that is, the ability of a territory to find solutions to adapt to the effects of climate change. In the case of Venice, in particular, the issue of the elevation of MOSE.
