Living On the Water Towards 2100 – Sea level Science in Venice

Venice has been facing challenges from its coastal environment since it was founded. Sedimentation has threatened its vital waterways in the past, and subsidence along with high waters began affecting buildings and streets. Today, rising sea levels are expected to worsen flooding, necessitating engineering solutions to protect the lagoon’s heritage. In June 2025, Venice will become the center of global climate research hosting three international events focused on sea-level change.
