Public engagement for climate-resilient societies   

Annette Klinkert, Executive Director, European Science Engagement Association, EUSEA

Eulàlia Baulenas, Postdoctoral researcher, Barcelona Supercomputing Center

Moderated by: Mauro Buonocore, CMCC

Why public engagement matters in times of transformation, and how it is possible to empower local communities to address the climate crisis?

In an era defined by climate change and environmental urgency, the webinar will delve into the significance of collaboration, knowledge exchange and community engagement to catalyze the transformative change that is essential for a sustainable future.

Annette Klinkert, Executive Director of the European Science Engagement Association, will explore the critical role of researchers in addressing complex challenges within and outside academia. Eulàlia Baulenas, Postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, will present the activities dedicated to citizens’ engagement developed by the project AGORA “A Gathering place to cO-design and co-cReate Adaptation”.

The event is organized as a joint initiative between Foresight Dialogues and the AGORA project.

“Foresight Dialogues” is the CMCC online events series in which writers, artists, journalists, scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs discuss the role of communication, in its various forms, in accelerating the climate transition. The Foresight Dialogues series is organised in the context of the CMCC Climate Change Communication Award “Rebecca Ballestra” initiative.

AGORA is an HORIZON project started in January 2023, coordinated by CMCC. It supports the overall objectives of the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change by promoting societal transformational processes in different social, economic and political contexts through transdisciplinary tools and approaches. The project promotes an effective engagement of citizens and communities in climate actions, accelerating and upscaling adaptation processes for building a climate resilient Europe.
