The event illustrates the paradigm shift that is transforming Venice, recently named Resilience Hub by the UNDRR (United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction). Speakers will include Alessandro Costa, DG of VSF, Pierpaolo Campostrini, General Director of CORILA and Scientific Coordinator of VSF, Francesco Musco, Director of Research at the IUAV University of Venice, Animesh Kumar, Head of Bonn Office, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, Alessandra Antonini, European Committee of the Regions – CoR, and Andrew Potts, Advisor for Heritage and Climate Action at Europa Nostra.
