"When creating data visualisations, it is essential to focus on the core message, and don't make it too long!" - Ciara Cesaro-Tadic, freelance data journalist and content creator. #ClimateArena #DataJournalism #Climate #Conference

"Whistleblowing is vital for #climate #journalism - and vice versa. #ClimateArena is a perfect forum to explore the ways in which we can encourage citizens bravely disclosing wrongdoing - and help them fuel climate investigations." - Gabriel Bourdon-Fattal of @climatewhistles.bsky.social

"Spaces like #ClimateArena are vital for climate journalism. It’s during these days that the investigations that are able to change the world are seeded, cross-border relationships happen and knowledge is shared." - @federicarossi.bsky.social #Climate #Conference #Journalism

❓What is the main driver of land use across #Europe? The #GreenToGrey project reveals the scale of Europe's nature loss, equivalent to 600 football fields a day. That’s 1.5x faster than officials previously estimated. Find out how to act on our groundbreaking investigation at greentogrey.eu/about

Hello #ClimateArena, I am here in Budapest. Please drop me a line to say hi, to talk collaborations, solutions, commissions, to grab a drink, or indeed to ask my tips for the city, which I’ve been exploring @journalismarena.eu

Construction is eating up Europe’s remaining green areas much faster than previously estimated by the EEA - who, by the way, told us that their methodology ”does not completely meet the requirements of statistical robustness”. #GreenToGrey @longplay.fi

🔎 greentogrey.eu reveals the scale of nature and cropland loss across the continent. By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch. At #ClimateArena this weekend... 🧵👇[1/3]

🟢 How much do we actually know about the 'solutions' to the #ClimateEmergency? This year's #ClimateArena has two dedicated sessions to discussing 'false solutions' in detail, looking at: 🌊 Desalination 🌪️ Geoengineering 🛢️ CCUS (carbon capture, usage and storage) 🪫 Hydrogen 🍂 Biofuels [1/3]🧵👇

📆 It's time for the #ClimateArena conference! This week, we will be meeting climate journalists, activists & scientists in Budapest for #CA25. If you haven't yet got your tickets, there are still a handful left. 🔎 Programme: climatearena2025.sched.com 🎟️ Tickets: climatearena.eu/register/

Thanks to FTM for including #GreenToGrey in their Europe Uncovered newsletter this week 🌍 greentogrey.eu

🔎 The Forever Lobbying Project is shortlisted for the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism! 🧪 This investigation exposed an ongoing, orchestrated lobbying and disinformation campaign by the PFAS industry and its allies... [1/4] 🧵👇

🟢 We’ve described Green to Grey as a ‘first of its kind’ data investigation. That’s a big claim – so, let us explain what we mean. The data methodology process for measuring nature loss across Europe is fascinating — but complex, and most of us are not data specialists! 🧵👇 [1/3]

Je mehr Wachstum desto mehr Steinzeit

Next Friday in Budapest, CIEL’s @duycks.bsky.social and @barnabypace.bsky.social join journalists and scientists at #ClimateArena2025 - an inspiring working conference by @journalismarena.eu to strengthen climate reporting across Europe. 📍 Corvinus University, Budapest 🗓️ October 10

In 5 minutes we're hosting another Reddit AMA with r/Europe. We revealed that more than 100 doctors suspended for serious offenses have easily continued practicing in other European countries. Ask us anything about #badpractice here: www.reddit.com/r/europe/com...

It’s not unspoken, it’s the central message of this piece and the project. The #GreenToGrey website highlights western consumerism as a key driver and the way “wealthy countries develop not only essential things, but unnecessary things, from golf courses to artificial ski slopes.” greentogrey.eu

"Wow. I just read the whole thing, to the tune of 41.000m²... This is a powerful piece of journalism" The words of a reader after yesterday's #GreenToGrey launch. Explore the greentogrey.eu investigation into nature loss. 💡We suggest how you can take action at the 'About' page.

New large-scale investigation in 11 European countries, supported via our Environmental investigative journalism grant programme: www.journalismfund.eu/green-to-grey

Europe is losing it's greeness (nature and agricultural lands) fast, intentionally. We are turning everything to built environment. At the same time we are using too much natural resources (like sand, gravel, wood, concrete etc.) for this. Way over any sustainable level. 1/n greentogrey.eu

Impressive but alarming contribution by our @greenet-project.bsky.social colleague Zander Venter, #NINA NO, to the greentogrey.eu project. 'Loss by country size' would be much higher for 🇦🇹 if only habitable area would be considered. Benchmarking: 🇨🇭 is comparable and doing much better.

Europe is turning grey. But how much is changing, and how fast? Really interesting story. Wonder why @politiken.dk or @information.dk is not part of this investigation that also affects Denmark. #klimahandling #GeentoGray #dkgreen #dkpol greentogrey.eu

I'm thinking about developing my comms/impact process and learnings into something...if anyone is interested in chatting to me about what that could look like, comment/DM! 🔥

💚 #GreenToGrey has got to be the biggest project I've worked on, not only geographically, but in level of revelation, clarity and potential impact. So you know it's got a good behind the scenes story... My piece on how @journalismarena.eu makes this happen: journalismarena.eu/arenas-green...

How did we bring the #GreenToGrey project to life? Read Arena's latest blog post, and our in-depth methodology page (both links in comments) for the behind-the-scenes story of how this massive cross-border, collaborative data project was built. The story includes: [1/4]

#GreenToGrey, c'est une collaboration entre 11 médias européens lancée par le norvégien NRK et coordonnée par le réseau @journalismarena.eu. C'est aussi l’analyse la plus fine de la consommation d’espaces naturels jamais réalisée à l’échelle européenne.

Millions of pixels, thousands of images, 40 journalists, 11 countries and 10 months of work – today we launch www.greentogrey.eu, a pioneering investigation into nature loss in Europe using satellites, AI and old school reporting to figure out how much we have lost, how fast – and with what impact

Every day, we are losing the little nature and untouched land we have left in Europe. It took 40 journalists from 11 countries, and 10 months of work to calculate how much land Europe is losing to construction, how fast, and at what cost. Read more about our findings here: greentogrey.eu

Η πανευρωπαϊκή έρευνα #Green2Grey έγινε υπό τον συντομισμό του @journalismarena.eu και με τη συμμετοχή 40 δημοσιογράφων και 11 ΜΜΕ. ❗️Με τη χρηματοδότηση του @journalismfund.bsky.social και του #ΙJ4EU.

Our year-long collaborative investigation has landed, and the findings are stark. Every year, Europe loses 1,500km² to construction. This is the equivalent of 600 football pitches every day, 1.5 times more than official EEA estimates. #GreenToGrey 1/x

Sinä aikana, kun katsot tämän videon, Euroopassa jyrätään 2850 neliömetriä maata rakentamisen alta. Luontoa hävitetään Euroopassa nopeammin kuin aiemmin on arvioitu. Long Play kertoo #GreenToGrey -projektin löydöksistä tuoreessa jutussa: www.longplay.fi/lyhyet/long-... Video: @journalismarena.eu

Revealed: Europe losing 600 football pitches of nature and crop land a day

#GreenToGrey, a groundbreaking data journalism collaboration between Arena and 11 news teams across Europe, reveals the scale of nature and cropland loss across the continent. Check it out 👇

Nature in Europe is being lost piece by piece. No complete overview has existed on how much is disappearing – until now. Read about how we helped journalists uncover how Europe is going from #greentogrey, coordinated by @journalismarena.eu in collaboration with NRK: www.nina.no/english/Abou...

🚨 NEW: By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch. This rate of loss, amounting to 600 football pitches a day, is 1.5 times higher than official EEA estimates. This is the #GreenToGrey project. [1/3]
