This side event, organized by the Venice Sustainability Foundation, will explore Venice as a model for climate adaptation that combines advanced engineering with nature-based resilience. The MOSE system integrates high-tech infrastructure with Nature-Based Solutions such as morphological restoration and ecological corridors to enhance long-term adaptive capacity. Alongside this, the \u201cCity Campus\u201d initiative turns Venice into a living laboratory where universities and communities co-design bottom-up adaptation strategies. Together, these approaches show how coastal cities can link infrastructure, NBS, and climate education. Barbara Buchner<\/a> will speak at the event, which will share replicable frameworks for sustainable, scalable coastal adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
