Happy International Day of #Forests! 🌳 Had so much fun reading forest stories from @forwards-project.bsky.social partners and shared them here: forwards-project.eu/if-trees-cou...

This is the kind of chaotic and disruptive way the new energy system will emerge: through people adapting, rather than through an orderly transition.

But our work is far from done—science is still under attack. We’ve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. What’s worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together? Fill out this quick form to share your thoughts & stay connected: forms.gle/QAxH4wD4Y3sg...

Today @s4fat.bsky.social held a #MarchForScience in #Salzburg and #Vienna, in solidarity with #scientists losing funding and jobs in #Trumps #USA but also as a warning against increasing anti-#science rhetoric in #Austria's own politics recently. youtu.be/f_GXtJpvJWs

Today’s #StandUpForScience in Vienna ✊🏽 @s4fwien.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

#Scientists stand up for #science tomorrow (Fri) - all over the 🇺🇸, but also in #Vienna, 🇦🇹! First time you're joining a march? Here's what to do ⬇️! It's quite easy :) 🕐 1pm 🏛️ Uni Vienna, Universitätsring 1 Details: at.scientists4future.org/2025/02/24/7... #marchforscience #standupforscience2025

Our consortium gathered in Vienna for #ForwardsEU annual meeting 📸 Hosted by our partner University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, we took this opportunity to share updates on the project progress and continue collaborating on the co-design of The ForestWard Observatory.

Last week for the @forwards-project.bsky.social Meeting, I led the citizen engagement exhibit showcasing outputs from the Swiss & Latvian demo sites. It was fun seeing our partners engage w/the posters & share insights, emphasizing the value of participatory approaches in climate-smart forestry.
