🎥"Stories like those portrayed in The Green Divide can be as effective in shaping public policy as the results of quantitative studies." Thanks @alerigolon.bsky.social for this review of our documentary. 👀 Have you watched it yet?

🌿🎬 Our documentary "The Green Divide" is now available on CaixaForum+ with subtitles in EN, ES, CA, PT It explores how urban greening can fuel inequality & how communities mobilize for fairer, healthier cities. 🎥 Official selection #SUNCINE. @bcnuej.bsky.social caixaforumplus.org/v/the-green-...

SOMMa, la alianza de centros y unidades de investigación de excelencia española, hace un llamamiento urgente a abordar la emergencia climática con una política basada en el conocimiento y las evidencias científicas.

🔅⚠️☔ We held a 2-day workshop with migrant health experts to unpack climate risks faced by migrants in EU cities. Their insights revealed 9 urgent drivers of vulnerability and the need for justice-centered climate adaptation. #ClimateJustice @pkotsila.bsky.social 👉 imbrace-erc.org/what-we-lear...

Injustice in Urban Sustainability coauthored by #IMBRACE PI @pkotsila.bsky.social w/ @bcnuej.bsky.social @ianguelovski.bsky.social, M. G. Lamarca and F. Sekulova, is 1 of the 2025 Pattis Family Foundation Global Cities Book Award Long List! www.metropolis.org/news/10-book...

🌍 Today is EU Day for Victims of the Global Climate Crisis. #Climatejustice means recognizing that racialized migrants often face the highest risks—but remain invisible in data and planning.

Every flood, fire, and storm can carry a story of livelihoods and homes destroyed. On the EU Day for the Victims of the Global Climate Crisis, we honour those affected by its impact and act for a safer future. By preparing our homes, infrastructure, economy, and health systems, we protect lives.

📣This is next week!📣

A full day in Barcelona today! 📒 💻 It was exciting to meet and speak with colleagues at @bcnuej.bsky.social. The conversations around creative participatory methodologies, political movements, and care will stay with me for a long time. Thanks so much for the invitation!

🎬 📉A BBC documentary on #degrowth features our researchers @ianguelovski.bsky.social @pkotsila.bsky.social + affiliated researcher Filka Sekulova! Here's a clip w/ their thoughts on housing, #climatejustice and a future beyond growth @icta-uab.bsky.social 📺 Full video👉 youtu.be/596dU6pDEU8?...

🌍 Can "degrowth" save the world? The BBC documentary explores the radical idea of degrowth, featuring ICTA-UAB researchers @jasonhickel.bsky.social, Joan Mtz-Alier, @giorgoskallis.bsky.social & @ianguelovski.bsky.social Is it time to rethink endless growth? 🎥 Watch now: youtu.be/596dU6pDEU8?...

📢 Today at 12pm (CEST)! Join us for Matina Kapsali’s seminar: “Counter-Topographies of Care: Feminist Geographies, Migrant Infrastructures, and Political Subjectification” 📍Sala Montseny, ICTA-UAB 🔗 Online: www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-... #ICTAUAB #FeministGeographies #UrbanStudies

🔥 Europe is facing another deadly #heatwave. But not everyone is equally at risk. Some people are systematically more exposed, more vulnerable—and less visible in the data. A thread 🧵👇

⚠️As Europe faces yet another heat wave, this is a stark reminder of why we need research on #climatejustice — to ensure climate adaptation centers justice—because not all communities are equally protected. #HeatWave #ClimateJustice #UrbanHeat #IMBRACEproject elpais.com/espana/catal...

📸A few snapshots from last week's #IMBRACE Arena, which gathered researchers, activists, journalists and community workers to examine immigrants’ climate health vulnerabilities. See who participated here 👀👇 imbrace-erc.org/wp-content/u... #climatejustice @pkotsila.bsky.social @icta-uab.bsky.social

Very excited for this talk which kick-starts our collaboration with Matina in the framework of the @imbrace-erc.bsky.social project. Join us in person at @icta-uab.bsky.social or online!

“Closing El Retiro in a city like #Madrid — which has so few trees and so few nearby green spaces — makes no sense,” said @ianguelovski.bsky.social about the decision to close parks due to winds amid a #heatwave ✍️@infobae.bsky.social #climateshelters www.infobae.com/espana/2025/...

🌊🌡️ How do communities respond to climate extremes like floods & heatwaves? Next Wed Jun 25 at Palau Macaya @pkotsila.bsky.social @icta-uab.bsky.social will discuss community #resilience in the face of growing climate risks #ClimateJustice #IMBRACE palaumacaya.fundacionlacaixa.org/es/p/comunid...

El ‘sinsentido’ de cerrar en Madrid los parques por alertas de calor y viento. “A la sombra hay hasta 15 grados menos. Es un error total de planificación”, indica la investigadora del ICTA-UAB Isabelle Anguelovski. www.infobae.com/espana/2025/...

📆📢Coming up, Jul 8‼️ @matinakapsali.bsky.social, postdoc researcher at @officialuom.bsky.social will talk at @icta-uab.bsky.social about the political and spatial dynamics of grassroots, feminist-oriented infrastructures emerging in migrant communities. Join us online!💻🔗 www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...

📣New article‼️ 🧵1/ How can we adapt cities to climate change—equitably? Not just with more trees or cooling centers, but through justice, solidarity & collective care. Insights from migrant residents in Barcelona’s El Raval 👇 #HeatJustice #ClimateAdaptation #Migration

🌿 Last week the #IMBRACE team gathered for a 3-day retreat in Nyam Nyam’s peaceful creative space in Mieres, Catalonia. How can feminist, participatory methods shape more just climate futures? 📸See photos taken by our resesarch assistant Eva Camus and read about it👇 imbrace-erc.org/imbrace-retr...

Surprising how much emotion comes out when we become the participant - reflecting, remembering, sharing. A reminder of how careful research might need to put "data collection" on hold to avoid trauma and exhaustion, while learning to "hold" uncomfortable experiences and providing support.

📸 A few photos from our 3-day workshop w/ Nyam Nyam collective developing arts-based research methods like #BodyMaps for #IMBRACE as participatory tools for working w/ marginalized communities. 🔜 A full recap next week! @pkotsila.bsky.social @bcnuej.bsky.social

Our methods retreat is in full bloom!! Today with Photovoice, Bodymaps and Walk alongs..

🎨🔍 Do you know about arts-based research methods like BodyMaps or Postcards from the Future? This week, #IMBRACE kicks off a 3-day workshop w/ Nyam Nyam collective to deepen participatory tools for working w/ marginalized communities on #climatejustice imbrace-erc.org/methodologic... Read on🧵👇

🌍 In #IMBRACE, we’re exploring how climate change affects health & justice in 6 European cities shaped by migration and diversity. From heat to floods to disease—these cities are already adapting. But who gets protected, and how? See how each city is impacted in this thread 👇 #ClimateJustice

Scientists have the right and responsibility to engage in activism—from the translation of their work in societal outputs to the participation in policy or civic events—because their expertise and ethical responsibility position them well to change policy 💪 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🏙️⛈️☔Can cities better prepare for flooding? New study by ICTA-UAB explores the increasing risks of flooding and drought. The research sheds light on the complex interaction between nature, infrastructures, and society that contributes to these risks. www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...

🎨🌿 We're heading to Mieres for a 3-day retreat with nyamnyam! Together we'll explore art-based, feminist, and participatory research methods to enrich #IMBRACE's work on health and #climatejustice. (Find @espainyamnyam on Instagram!) 🗓️ May 5–7 🔗 Read more: imbrace-erc.org/methodologic...

🤔🌍Should climate scientists stay "neutral"? Our new @natureportfolio.nature.com article makes a strong case for why activism is not only compatible with rigorous science—it’s part of our ethical responsibility 🧵👇 👉 Read it here: nature.com/articles/s44...

😓Due to the #blackout yesterday, we've had to postpone our first #IMBRACE workshop. Stay tuned for an update 👀

A year ago, @ianguelovski.bsky.social and all of us felt the need to respond to calls for science to be “neutral”. Not pretending to be neutral and instead doing engaged research is now more urgent than ever: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🗣️📣Our first workshop, tomorrow! 👇#IMBRACE

🌍💚 How does climate change affect the health of immigrants in Europe—not as a push factor, but where they live now? In #IMBRACE we examine how racialized migrant communities experience and respond to the climate-health crisis—and how their knowledge can drive just urban adaptation. 🧵👇

Nature-based solutions pose challenges for social justice in the city. Re-read this study by @icta-uab.bsky.social researchers from @bcnuej.bsky.social group. www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...
