Italy has 57 wetlands of international importance recognised by the Ramsar Convention list, one of the most important being in the Venice lagoon. What do we know about the role of wetlands in climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as in sustainable development? How can Europe contribute to making the most of nature's superpowers? The event aims to raise awareness on this issue by promoting dialogue between experts, students and locals.
