As the planet heats and floods intensify, who is most at risk? We're taking advantage of #DayOfClimateAction to share our 2 reports on how #climatechange deepens health inequalities for migrants in Europe how justice should lead adaptation 👇 #ClimateJustice #ClimateActionDay

Here is our panel with colleagues from @bcnuej.bsky.social, consider sending your presentation proposal by DEC 5th via the link below, for the @pollenetwork.bsky.social conference to be held in Barcelona end of June 2026! nomadit.co.uk/conference/p...

🏙️ On #WorldHabitatDay we highlight how #housing inequality shapes #climateustice in EUcities. ‼️ #Migrants + refugees are more likely to live in overcrowded, poorly insulated homes, increasing heat-related health risks and deepening social vulnerability. @icta-uab.bsky.social @bcnuej.bsky.social

🎥"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-...

🌍 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.

🔥 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

“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.

🌿 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-...
