The 2024 edition of the competition reserved special, though not exclusive, attention to certain thematic aspects:

- The intergenerational relationship between the real climate emergency and insufficient government policies
- Women's empowerment between climate and social crisis. The relationship between gender equality and environmental policies.
- New collective or individual lifestyles: forms of social and environmental adaptation
- Northern Italy, land of contrasts, from economic supremacy to climate hot spot in the Po Valley, Alpine and coastal areas
- Venice: an environmental/cultural laboratory city or victim of uncontrolled speculation
- European continent: the rapid rise in temperatures compared to the planet's average

In addition, central themes of this edition were the relationship between climate-changing emissions and food, sustainable finance, the use of shop windows as spaces for ecological promotion, criticism of the world of mass media and the aesthetic representation of a symbiotic relationship with endangered ice formations.

The Competition emphasised the urgency to take action to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change, as dictated by the international scientific community and the United Nations with the 2015 Paris World Conference, and through the IPCC with the 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C - SR15, the AR6 Synthesis Report of March 2023, the first European Climate Risk Assessment produced by the European Environment Agency in 2024 and the European State of the Climate report (ESOTC 2023). The event recalled the evidence of worsening extreme climate events detected worldwide.

Some collective projects of Venetian associations and professionals were also presented.
