The Climateurope2 Webstival will take place on 19 and 20 September 2024. This virtual event will provide a platform for exchange on the development, use and quality of climate services and their importance for innovation and policymaking. The Webstival ties in with the 2022 and 2023 editions and will once again address topics relevant to the application of climate services. The focus will be on what makes a climate service effective, equitable and transparent and how it can support transformative action to tackle the climate crisis. This includes both mitigation and adaptation measures.

Programme focus

The Webstival offers several plenary sessions and topic-specific workshops. Among other topics, bridging the financial protection gap, developing a health shield and storytelling for municipal climate services will be discussed. A special feature of this edition will be interactive hands-on sessions in which participants will gain practical insights into the planning and utilisation of climate services.

Ecologic Institute's contribution to the Webstival

Dr Grit Martinez from Ecologic Institute will moderate the session ‘Climate Storytelling for Municipal Services’. This session will address the question of how local knowledge and narrative approaches can be integrated into climate services to support municipal climate adaptation processes. In addition, Dr Grit Martinez will contribute her expertise in climate communication and moderate the exchange on what constitutes good climate services and how scientific data can be made accessible for municipal services.
