Warsaw opens metro station ‘express’ library to get commuters off their phones

🍇🍽️ Migrant workers feed Europe & keep services running, yet are the most exposed to the #ClimateCrisis, placed in precarity not by origin but by system. An Op-ed in @elpais coauthored by @pkotsila.bsky.social @bcnuej.bsky.social @icta-uab.bsky.social elpais.com/clima-y-medi...

🏠🥵🪭🌡️Una casa sin aire en El Raval o un invernadero en Almería: el calor agudiza la vulnerabilidad de los migrantes. Los refugios climáticos no están diseñados pensando en las características de los migrantes, indica @pkotsila.bsky.social www.rtve.es/noticias/202...

Temas muy chulos aquí: una investigación en el Raval mostró que donde mejor se sentían los migrantes en verano, no solo por confort térmico sino emocional, no eran refugios climáticos al uso. Eran dos espacios autogestionados/ocupados: un huerto urbano y la escuela Massana www.rtve.es/n/16694090/

Unas reflexiones estos dias de agosto que la mayoría vamos de vacaciones… @bcnuej.bsky.social @imbrace-erc.bsky.social @icta-uab.bsky.social

🔅⚠️☔ 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...

This was definitely a highlight of the year work-wise, having amazing people to discuss how we can shape our work in @imbrace-erc.bsky.social and build long-lasting collaborations. Next year we're off to case study cities. But first, August 🌊🏄📖🌗🍹😌

At the @atgender.bsky.social conference tomorrow to present our work with @evacamusb.bsky.social using the Relief Maps method to understand thermal/emotional comfort during heatwaves in Neukölln, Berlin.

Esto es hoy!!

🔥 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 🧵👇

📸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

🌊🌡️ ¿Cómo responden las comunidades ante fenómenos extremos como inundaciones y olas de calor? El 25/06, @pkotsila.bsky.social del ICTA-UAB, hablará en el Palau Macaya sobre la #resiliencia comunitaria frente al aumento de los riesgos climáticos. @imbrace-erc.bsky.social www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...

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!

📣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

Yesterday @ianguelovski.bsky.social @pkotsila.bsky.social served as jury members for the 2024 Ciudad de Barcelona Awards @barcelonacat.bsky.social awarding the Lancet Countdown’s Europe Report on Health & Climate Change. Congrats to lead authors @daalenkim.bsky.social @drrachellowe.bsky.social!

🌿 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...

📢CALL FOR PAPERS! Does the current #EnvironmentalJustice framework provide answers to the evolving challenges of urban environments? Or does it need a reboot? Submit your papers here! 🤓👇 #cities www.nature.com/collections/...

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.

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

Across these 6 cities we're investigating: 👥 Who gets protected from climate impacts? 🏙️ Whose knowledge counts in planning? 🧭 How do we build just, inclusive and healthy urban futures? Learn more about our #ERCproject led by @pkotsila.bsky.social from @bcnuej.bsky.social 🌐 imbrace-erc.org/cities/

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...

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor offer hope through understanding, allowing us to counter their narratives with a far better story. @naomiaklein.bsky.social @astra.bsky.social

A lot of us from @imbrace-erc.bsky.social will be there, also stellar colleagues, friends and people we admire for keynotes @joanbenach.bsky.social , @wendyharcourt.bsky.social , @jasonhickel.bsky.social, @Nicoletta Dentico - Free for all participants - join us! www.socialdeterminants.org

✏️A piece on Undisciplined Environments written by #IMBRACE researchers @pkotsila.bsky.social and Eva Camus on how climate injustice is lived and felt in Berlin’s Neukölln, where race, class & gender shape the experience of extreme heat. #climatejustice undisciplinedenvironments.org/2025/04/08/c...

The work we did with @evacamusb.bsky.social and Kate Shipley, with @mariarodo.bsky.social’s Relief Maps methodology adapted to heatwaves, and @icta-uab.bsky.social’s support. Participants were so generous with their inputs. Thanks to #Refugio Berlin for the lovely space and food ☀️

🌍🧑🏽‍⚕️ On #WorldHealthDay, we’re reminded that health is shaped not just by biology, but by inequality, displacement & climate breakdown. Our @erc.europa.eu project explores how we can conduct research *with* migrant communities facing these overlapping crises—w/ ethics, care & justice 🔗 imbrace-erc.org

📍🏙️ #IMBRACE is amplifying the conversation on #climatehealth by focusing on the vulnerable immigrant communities in 6️⃣ major EU cities: Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Marseilles, Antwerp and Athens. Each one is exposed to extreme heat or rain ➡️ imbrace-erc.org/cities/ #UrbanClimate #ClimateAdaptation

🥵What is #heatgentrification? Our research looks at the climate impacts of 1️⃣ increased and prolonged heat and 2️⃣intense rainfall and flooding. Read this article in Nature Cities for more:⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Do you know this brand new project led by our researcher @pkotsila.bsky.social?

🥵☔The project studies the impacts of extreme heat and flooding across 6 cities in Europe, examining the root causes of vulnerability, as those are experienced and understood by migrants.

🌇The IMBRACE research project examines what shapes immigrants’ climate health vulnerability and how their situated knowledges and practices can inform both their own response capacities and urban climate adaptation more broadly, towards more effective and just approaches.
