The Venice Sustainability Foundation was born from the belief that the history of resilience of the City of Venice – its continuous and ingenious search for balance between the needs of a community of inhabitants and the particular environment that hosts it – can inspire the realization of a sustainable future, able to overcome the complex challenges that threaten its very survival.

The Foundation aims to respond to the main problems of the lagoon city and its metropolitan surroundings by promoting a plan of interventions that is functional to:

• the relaunch, in an ESG key, of the social economy of the territory;/li>
• the creation of a new integrated model (environmental, economic, social) of sustainable territorial development, as a best practice of global value, that can be a reference for other urban realities worldwide.

The Foundation aims, in particular, to promote/facilitate synergies between the different stakeholders interested in the sustainability of the same territorial area.

Established on March 14 2022 under the patronage of the Italian Government, the Foundation is composed of a structured partnership of regional and local authorities, the main Venetian cultural and academicinstitutions and a group of large companies interested in the sustainable development of the Venetian area

The Foundation is chaired by Professor Renato Brunetta. Dr. Luca Zaia, President of the Regional Council of Veneto, and Dr. Luigi Brugnaro, Mayor of Venice are vice-presidents.

Tourist overcrowding, depopulation, environmental protection, defense from tides, loss of artisanal and industrial employment, conservation of the historical-cultural heritage are just some of the problems that the Venetian territorial system must face.

The solution passes through an integrated approach to the numerous challenges, which allows to recreate in a stable form that experience of use (residential, working, tourist) that for centuries has made this place unparalleled and that can make Venice the World Capital of Sustainability.

Thanks to its small size (a historic center of only 5 kmq) and its territorial peculiarities (of land and sea), Venice is an ideal laboratory to generate, develop and test a new model of urban sustainability - social, economic and environmental - as a happy synthesis between past resilience and future prosperity.
