Venice Capital of Sustainability: goals 2025-2027
“Complexity needs a shared approach, but a crucial aspect with which to deal with it is time andorganization; our foundation itself deals with many issues but we did not start with all of them at once, but worked by individual areas to achieve organic growth.” Word from Alessandro Costa, in his second term as Director General of the Venice Foundation World Capital of Sustainability for the three-year period 2025-2027. “Our goals remain to be an accelerator of initiatives by bringing together different realities that would not otherwise have ways of working together, with the aim of finding models that can be applied in a unique city like Venice, in the entire territory and beyond. Working here not only gives us international reach but shows the world that solutions that are possible in the lagoon, can be applied anywhere ».
In fact, the Foundation presents itself with unique model at the level of innovation, strategy and quality of partnership with 44 partners among institutions such as the Municipality of Venice, Veneto Region, Metropolitan City, Iuav, Ca’ Foscari, Academy of Fine Arts, Benedetto Marcello Conservatory, Giorgio Cini Foundation, Confindustria, Unioncamere, Cassa Depositi Prestiti, Invitalia and companies such as Boston Consulting Group, Enel, Eni, Microsoft, PwC, Tim, Trenitalia, Poste Italiane, Unicredit, Umana. This network unites such diverse entities in the common interest of working on issues related to Venice and its entire territory beyond the Historic Center to the entire Veneto region. The approach is to create models of 360° integrated sustainability that takes into account environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts.
