The Festival of Sustainable Development, organized by the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASVIS), to which RUS adheres and with which it collaborates, is the largest Italian initiative to raise awareness and mobilize citizens, younger generations, businesses and institutions on issues of economic, social and environmental sustainability.

The 2022 edition of the Festival of Sustainable Development took place from 4 to 20 October and represented an important milestone on the path towards the realization of the UN Agenda 2030 just 8 years before its expiry. In fact, 2022 has seen the achievement of one of the historic goals of the Alliance, the inclusion in the Italian Constitution of the principle of sustainable development, with the reform of Articles 9 and 41, and the inclusion of the protection of the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems in view of intergenerational justice.

The Festival is the result of everyone's collaboration: individual events can be organized by anyone who wants to help put Italy and the world on a path of sustainable development.
