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.
The screening at the VIU of the documentary film 'Blue Carbon', which was in English and with Italian subtitles, previously unseen in Italy, is part of the Wake Up Europe educational campaign with an introduction at the beginning and a debate after the film to promote understanding of the significance of European wetlands, with various speakers including:
- Francesca Vianello, Head of Europe Direct of the Municipality of Venice
- Annalisa Piras, journalist, director of The Wake Up Europe Festival
- Ilda Mannino, VIU Env. Management and Sustainable Development, scientific coordinator of VIU's TEN Sustainability Programme and lecturer of the course Globalisation, Environment and Sustainable Development
- Jane da Mosto, co-founder and executive director of We Are Here Venice
