The 2025 edition of the competition draws special, though not exclusive, attention to certain thematic aspects:
- The “chain” of responsibility and the culture of public administration in environmental emergencies
- Creatively telling sustainable alternatives to fast fashion: our closet and the “language” of clothes
- Gender violence, gender identity and anthropogenic action on the environment.
- Experiences of social and environmental adaptation
- Northern Italy, between economic primacy and Mediterranean climate hot spot (Po Valley, Alpine and coastal areas)
- Venice between potential environmental laboratory and striking example of unsustainable management
- Italian public transport between inefficiencies, unaffordable costs and marginalization of young people. Virtuous international examples.
- European continent: temperatures rising faster than in the rest of the planet. Where and how to live.
