Venice Under Threat: Climate Change and the Battle Against Sinking | Missing Link | Documentary

What does quantum mechanics have to do with skiing? Where’s the connection between skiers and bees? Just what do these busy insects have in common with railways? And what connects the rails with Venice, a must-visit destination filled with things to do?

Venice, often dubbed the "Floating City," grapples with a centuries-old struggle against sinking due to a combination of factors including land subsidence and rising sea levels. The city, built on a delicate network of wooden piles and marshy ground, faces constant threats from high tides and flooding, exacerbated by climate change. In response, Venice has implemented various measures to combat its gradual descent into the Adriatic Sea. These include the MOSE Project, a system of mobile barriers designed to protect the city from high tides, as well as ongoing efforts to restore and reinforce historic buildings and infrastructure. Additionally, initiatives focusing on sustainable urban development and environmental conservation are vital components of Venice's battle against sinking, highlighting the city's enduring resilience and commitment to preserving its unique cultural heritage. Amidst these challenges, Venice remains a top destination with a plethora of must-do activities that celebrate its rich history and vibrant culture.

The knowledge format "Missing Link" highlights a wealth of facts from nature, life, and technology - from amphibians to outer space, from large machines to genetic engineering. In each documentary, five objects from the most diverse areas of our universe are taken one after the other under the magnifying glass of knowledge, in order to then uncover the hidden connections between them by means of high-quality, humorous animation pieces. The connections are enigmatic and surprising; only in retrospect do they appear startlingly clear.
