Voices of Climate Adaptation

Voices of Climate Adaptation showcases the outcomes of Adaptation AGORA, a HORIZON Europe initiative aligned with the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. Leveraging inclusive and transdisciplinary methodologies, Adaptation AGORA promotes democracy, climate resilience, and equity. By amplifying citizens' participation in decision-making and enhancing adaptive capacity, the project fosters grassroots climate action.

I collaborated with the CMCC Foundation team to develop an online repository of interviews, workshops, tools, and resources produced between 2023 and 2025 across four European countries: Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Spain. Building on the existing Adaptation AGORA brand guidelines, I designed a bespoke identity for the website, titled "Voices of Climate Adaptation". The name reflects the plurality of perspectives, with participants from academia, local organizations, students, and the general public.

The insights are organized into four themes: Climate Adaptation and Citizen Engagement, Science and Data, Public Awareness, and Policy in the Making. Each theme page presents findings gathered over the two years of the project, offering a window into the adaptation journey undertaken by local communities and citizens. Given the extensive text contributions, materials, images, and videos, the content is easily navigable via a fixed anchor menu positioned on the left.

The Adaptation AGORA project was implemented through four pilot initiatives across European countries. Teams in Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Spain addressed localized climate challenges by co-creating practical, inclusive solutions aimed at fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and raising climate awareness.

The glossary provides clear, accessible definitions of key terms featured on the website. Terms highlighted in dark blue are clickable and link directly to their specific definitions, which open automatically within the glossary page.

The four arcs of the bespoke logo, representing the four pilot projects, are derived from the symbol of the original Adaptation AGORA brand. The logo preserves the original brand blue, while the secondary colors are introduced as gradients to symbolize the state of transition essential to climate adaptation. This composition is used as the cover for various video interviews and presentations.
