In light of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, it is crucial to address the challenges posed by rising sea levels and extreme meteorological events, which are expected to increase in frequency. Even with efforts to decarbonize our economies, the sea level is projected to rise for the next two centuries, putting at risk over 250 million people living in coastal areas less than 2 meters above sea level. Among the vulnerable sites are numerous cultural heritage locations situated in low-lying coastal regions, including 49 UNESCO World Heritage sites across the Mediterranean.

Moreover, recent data reveals that approximately 21% of the world's Heritage sites are susceptible to river floods. Venice, as one of the cities engaged in the UNDRR campaign "Making Cities Resilient," became a role model for Cultural Heritage protection and was acknowledged as such in 2011. The third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, held in 2015, notably integrated the safeguarding of Cultural Heritage within its adopted Framework.

As we approach the eighth year since that conference, the upcoming event in Venice aims to assess the progress and effects of implemented strategies, particularly focusing on the outcomes achieved in Venice itself. Furthermore, the conference intends to renew urgent attention towards the protection of Cultural Heritage, strengthening of early warning systems, considering the most recent scientific data on the impacts of climate change. It is essential to confront these challenges and foster a collective effort to preserve and protect our shared cultural legacies in the face of a changing climate.

The conference is organised by VSF, in collaboration with CORILA, The European House - Ambrosetti, Consorzio Venezia Nuova and Vela, with the support of Fondazione Giorgio Cini and Procuratoria di San Marco, as part of the "Biennale della Sostenibilità - The MOSE Era", a series of initiatives promoted by VSF aimed at establishing Venice as a global reference point in climate change adaptation strategies.

2ND VENICE SUSTAINABLE FASHION FORUM

  • Inizio evento: 2023-10-26
  • Fine evento: 2023-10-27
  • Luogo: Fondazione G. Cini | Venezia

The second Venice Sustainable Fashion Forum stands as a beacon of innovation and reflection in the vast landscape of sustainable fashion. This forum is a not to be missed appointment as Side Event of the Sustainability Biennial 2023 - The MOSE Era for those who wish to critically analyze the present and future of sustainable fashion. Now in its second edition, the Forum has quickly established itself as the annual reference event for exploring the challenges of sustainability in the fashion world.

Fashion is a crucial sector in the transition to a sustainable future, and the Venice Sustainable Fashion Forum aims to become the meeting place for institutions, nongovernmental organizations, brands, industry and business professionals, opinion leaders, and key players in sustainable change. The first edition demonstrated the importance of bringing these diverse stakeholders together to identify priority challenges, outline a shared vision of change, and initiate action based on verifiable scientific data.

One of the key challenges is measuring the global impact of the fashion industry, made complex by the lack of comparable data. However, the European Union has stipulated that fashion and luxury companies must make public their quantitative sustainability performance starting in 2023 or 2024 at the latest, highlighting the importance of sustainable transition. In particular, Italy, with more than 500,000 workers in the industry, is a focal point in this initiative.

This second edition of the Venice Sustainable Fashion Forum is the essential event for those who embrace sustainable fashion and aspire to contribute to a better future for this crucial industry.

Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors – “World Built Environment Forum Europe Conference”

The "World Built Environment Forum - Europe Conference" will be held on 19 and 20 October 2023 at the Procuratie Vecchie in Piazza S. Marco in Venice. The "side event" of the Biennale della Sostenibilità, organised by RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, www.rics.org), will take place in "The human safety net" auditorium. The two-day event will focus on the topic of "Decarbonising Europe's built environment: A sustainable approach for people, planet and profit".

From analysing the current economic outlook to discussing topics such as the impact of ESG factors on sustainable finance valuations and policies, WBEF Europe is designed to promote 'peer-brainstorming' by RICS delegates.

Venice Sustainability Foundation will organise the panel 'Climate resilient cities and infrastructure: Venice’s Vision for the future'. Moderated by Director General Alessandro Costa, the session will focus on supporting the transition to zero carbon emissions. With a focus on the MOSE System, which enables the city and its territory to be defended against the rise of the mid-sea, Venice will become a case-study at world level.

Hydrogen value chain in Veneto region: state of the art and development perspectivess

Thanks to its storing and transporting capability, thus addressing intermittent renewable sources limitations, hydrogen plays an increasingly evident role in the transition to an economy in line with Net Zero carbon emission targets. Given their progressive maturation, technologies based on this energy carrier - including hydrogen fuels - can play an important role in decarbonizing energy-intensive industrial and transportation sectors.

The conference aims to present the results of the report "Mapping competences and H2 demand in Veneto", edited by Boston Consulting Group with the coordination of Regione del Veneto with the contribution of the Foundation’s Members. Evidence will be analysed, by stimulating the dialogue between public and private, national, and international actors, to assess the development and prospects of the sector and to identify strategic opportunities for a hydrogen supply chain in Veneto, centred in Porto Marghera.

THE PROJECT

Promoted by VSF and coordinated by the Veneto Region, this project aims to map current competencies across the hydrogen value chain in the Veneto region, segmented by upstream (producers), midstream (distribution and storage), and downstream (end-use) operators. This mapping exercise also explores potential demand for this energy carrier and the sector's development prospects in Veneto. The analysis of the collected data serves as a foundational tool to support the potential establishment of a Hydrogen and Alternative Energy Hub in Marghera, designed to drive positive impacts across the entire regional territory.

The mapping exercise aims to:

  • Identify technical and industrial competencies across the hydrogen value chain (production, storage, conversion, and transport) as well as potential gaps;

  • Survey organizations operating within the hydrogen supply chain or interested in exploring its strategic and operational impacts;

  • Quantify current and future hydrogen demand;

  • Gather insights into ongoing or planned projects and allocated financial resources.

THE CONFERENCE

Held on October 13, 2023, the conference presented the findings of the “Mapping of Hydrogen Skills and Demand in the Veneto Region,” conducted under the coordination of the Veneto Region and with the technical support of Boston Consulting Group. The event fostered dialogue between public and private stakeholders to launch initiatives for building a regional hydrogen supply chain, highlighting the strategic opportunities presented by adopting this energy carrier.

To access the conference materials, click here.

THE SURVEY

The survey is aimed at businesses in the Veneto region, inviting them to contribute to establishing Venice and Veneto as an attractive hub for the hydrogen supply chain by sharing their competencies, projects, and needs through an online questionnaire.

The questions are primarily technical in nature; responding requires knowledge of the company's energy resource consumption and/or its sustainability and innovation strategies.

Upon completion of the analysis, every participant in the mapping exercise will receive a copy of the final report.
