A climate news story has to be accurate, well sourced and, usually, ready by early afternoon. That is becoming harder for journalists to deliver. Disinformation crowds the information space, newsrooms have fewer specialist reporters as budgets shrink, and the evidence behind any climate topic is scattered across studies, legislation, data and public debate. At a
From classrooms and grandparents’ gardens to newsrooms and policy desks: how NEUROCLIMA’s Portuguese pilots tackle the handoff where climate action stalls. Climate action rarely stalls for lack of science. It stalls in the handoff between research, the public and decision-makers. In Castelo Branco, our partner CATAA, which also coordinates NEUROCLIMA’s pilots across six countries, has
From a crowded Milan fair to a storm-scarred Alpine valley, a Tuscan wine town and Genoa’s waterfront, NEUROCLIMA’s Italian pilots asked one question: what happens when people stop being lectured about climate and start being asked? Climate policy is usually designed from the top down: global models, satellite data, international targets. Yet adaptation is lived

In an era when climate conversations are frequently dominated by polarizing debates, local communities are quietly proving that the path forward requires something far more grounded. On September 23, the historic Sala Ex Macelli in Montepulciano opened its doors for a deeply engaging pilot activity: “Community Lens: Visualizing & Negotiating Local Resilience“, deployed as part

Europe’s green transition cannot succeed through top-down lectures and abstract mandates. Building true climate resilience requires moving beyond traditional silos to give citizens, educators, researchers, and policymakers the practical infrastructure they need to co-design a sustainable future. Discover the NEUROCLIMA Hub—an innovative, AI-driven platform designed to transform how Europe approaches climate adaptation by turning complex

Climate change presents not only a scientific and environmental challenge, but a deeply human one. As climate-related realities become more prominent across Southern Europe, traditional educational models often struggle to bridge the gap between scientific information and long-term behavioral change. To address this challenge, the NEUROCLIMA Athens Pilot, implemented in Greece by IASIS, focuses on
Climate policy has a translation problem. On one side sit an army of devoted scientists, sitting on mountains of data that almost nobody outside their field can fully understand. On the other sit the people who actually write the laws – under pressure, short on time, working from summaries several steps removed from the evidence

There is a question that runs through generations without ever losing its force: what was the world like before we were born? In Taberna Seca, Portugal, that question stopped being rhetorical one autumn morning. Twenty children, aged six and seven, from ATL Benny Park walked through the doors of Centro Social da Taberna Seca not
Two webinars in Castelo Branco brought reporters from three local outlets together to ask a question now central to climate coverage everywhere: if the public has more information than ever, why does it feel less engaged and powerless? There is no shortage of data on climate change. Satellites track it by the hour, models forecast
When more data isn’t enough: Portuguese journalists test NEUROCLIMA’s climate tools Read More »
By Kemi Oyesola Designing an educational experience is rarely a straight line. Behind every seemingly simple activity are questions about the learners, the learning objectives, the context in which the experience will be used, and the practical constraints of the people expected to facilitate it. There are also many conversations, iterations, adjustments, and moments where
