April to June 2026
About
this pilot

This pilot, implemented in Greece by IASIS, brings together journalists, content creators, and policymakers to explore new ways of understanding and communicating climate change through the NeuroClima Hub. By combining media and policy perspectives, the pilot examines how digital tools, curated scientific knowledge, and behaviour-change insights can support both impactful climate storytelling and more informed, inclusive decision-making. The goal is to foster climate communication and policy approaches that are accurate, engaging, and emotionally aware.

Who is involved?

The pilot engages two key groups:

Journalists and content creators working across print, online, audiovisual media, and digital platforms

+

Policymakers and public-sector professionals operating at local, regional, and national levels

Participants may be active in fields such as climate, environment, education, social policy, or urban planning, and may have varying levels of prior experience with climate-related topics. No prior expertise in climate science, artificial intelligence, or technical tools is required. Participation is voluntary.

What is
being
tested in
this pilot?

This pilot addresses shared challenges across media and policy contexts, including:

  • Making complex climate information accessible and actionable

  • Avoiding misinformation, oversimplification, or emotional disengagement

  • Integrating behavioural and social dimensions into communication and decision-making

  • Understanding how narratives, emotions, and public perceptions shape climate action

Through participation, the pilot aims to:

  • Strengthen confidence in climate communication and interpretation  

  • Improve accuracy and depth of content and policy understanding 

  • Encourage more inclusive, evidence-based, and emotionally informed approaches
