È l’unica maniera per salvare una città, salvata dalle acque grazie al Mose, ma che va salvata anche dal punto di vista economico. Per far questo occorrono investimenti nel futuro che abbiano come obiettivo l’energia, l’ambiente, la sostenibilità urbana”. Sono le parole di Renato Brunetta, presidente della Fondazione Venezia Capitale Mondiale della Sostenibilità/ Venice Sustainability Foundation - Vsf, in occasione dell’incontro con i media per fare il punto sulle attività svolte da Vsf nel 2024 e sulle progettualità future.

00:00The Foundation was founded to attract sustainable investments to Venice.
00:10It is the only way to save the city, which is now saved by water, thanks to the MOSE,
00:17it must also be saved from an economic point of view, that is, jobs, young people, families.
00:26This is the future of Venice.
00:29To do this, investments are needed, investments in the future, sustainable investments,
00:36investments that aim at energy, the environment, urban sustainability,
00:45sustainability from over-tourism, that is, from excess tourism.
00:50This is the task of the Foundation, to attract sustainable investments.
00:55To do this, we have put together 47 partners, between founders and co-founders,
01:02the largest scientific institutions in the city, the academies, the universities, the CNR,
01:09and then the largest multinational companies, Italian and foreign.
01:13This is our task.
01:15It is not enough to have saved, thanks to the MOSE, the physical city or the lagoon,
01:22it is necessary to save the city of the people, to keep young people in Venice,
01:28not to let them escape, to attract young people through the attraction of university campuses,
01:36therefore researchers, teachers, students, laboratories.
01:41This is our mission.
01:43We are succeeding.
01:45It is a job that will last for decades.
01:48It is a fundamental job that we can then tell the world,
01:54so that the world can reproduce it.
01:57This is our task.
01:59We have the banks, we have the publishers, we have the multinationals,
02:05we have the confindustries, we have Enel, Eni, ASNAM.
02:10It is a great satisfaction to have in the foundation the best of the Italian industry,
02:17the best of the Italian institutions, and this is the goal.
02:22To give a hand to this city, which is saved by the waters,
02:26must save its people, its population.
02:29With 2024 we had at least 100 MOSE elevations.
02:34An elevation of the MOSE means that Venice has been preserved by the high waters.
02:40From the beginning of the elevation of the MOSE, October 3, 2020, to 2024,
02:47there have been 100 elevations of the mobile barriers.
02:51So Venice has been preserved by 100 floods
02:57and has given an extraordinary sign of the future.
03:01Having this awareness, we look forward to the next decades
03:07thanks to this extraordinary work, which is the MOSE,
03:10and thanks to the work we are doing to attract sustainable investments.
