The initiative aimed to enhance the works and projects that offer an effective message on the subject of climate change and the environmental and social aspects connected to it. The Competition underlined the urgency of actions to adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change, dictated by the international scientific community and by the United Nations with the World Conference in Paris in 2015, and through the IPCC with the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C - SR15 of 2018 and the AR6 Report of 2022, as well as the evidence of the aggravation of natural phenomena detected worldwide
