In this compelling episode of Harvesting Wisdom, Dr. Roselle steps in for host Mike McMahon and takes us on a journey to Venice, Italy—a city facing the dual pressures of climate change and mass tourism. Through an enlightening conversation with the Director of the Venice Sustainability Foundation, we explore how Venice is being reimagined as a living laboratory for sustainability.Listeners will hear how the MOSE flood barrier system is protecting the city from rising seas, and how community engagement, education, and youth involvement are essential to its long-term resilience. From managing over-tourism to building a hydrogen economy, this episode is a case study in how a historic city can adapt, innovate, and lead. Whether you're an educator, policymaker, student, or sustainability advocate, Venice's story offers valuable lessons on bridging culture, climate, and community action.
