How has climate change impacted italy?

Venice, Italy

Venice, Italy, is a historic city in northeastern Italy, built on a network of 118 small islands separated by canals and connected by bridges. Known as "La Serenissima," Venice is famous for its unique architecture, art, and cultural heritage, attracting millions of tourists annually. The city lies in the Venetian Lagoon, a shallow body of water connected to the Adriatic Sea, and is renowned for landmarks such as St. Mark's Basilica, the Grand Canal, and the Rialto Bridge.

How its been impacted

  • Environment: Rising sea levels caused by melting ice caps and thermal expansion have worsened Venice's "acqua alta" (high water events). Floods have become more frequent and severe, leading to damage to historic buildings and infrastructure.
  • Animals: Changes in water salinity and flooding have disrupted the lagoon's delicate ecosystems, affecting fish and bird species.
  • Humans: Residents and businesses are increasingly affected by frequent flooding, which impacts tourism (a vital part of Venice's economy) and daily life.
