5️⃣ Walk-alongs 🚶♀️🚶♂️
We walk with participants through their everyday routes to
observe, discuss & reflect on how urban spaces & climate hazards shape wellbeing. imbrace-erc.org/walk-alongs/
4️⃣ Postcards from the Future ✉️
Imagine your neighborhood in 2040. Draw, collage, or write your climate-resilient, wellbeing-focused future.
Foresight meets lived experience. imbrace-erc.org/postcards-fr...
3️⃣ Photovoice 📸
Photos capture daily realities of vulnerability, resilience & adaptation priorities — personal stories become collective insight. imbrace-erc.org/photovoice/
2️⃣ Urban Climate Relief Maps 🗺️
Map your city: where you feel safe, uncomfortable, stressed, or cared for. Shows how identity & environment intersect: gender, race, class, heatwaves, floods...all together. imbrace-erc.org/urban-climat...
1️⃣ Body Mapping 🖌️
Participants draw & annotate life-sized body outlines.
Emotions, memories, climate & #migration experiences become visible — literally in the body. imbrace-erc.org/body-maps
🌍 How do climate & environmental changes affect health in migrant communities? In IMBRACE, we explore this through participatory, feminist and transdisciplinary methods: #bodymaps #photovoice #walkalong... click through to learn about each one 🧵 👇 imbrace-erc.org/methodologies/ #climatejustice
Bringing @imbrace-erc.bsky.social to this conference, inserting issues of social justice to discussions of #OneHealth and #PlanetaryHealth
🎓💥What happens when you try to do #militantresearch from within #academia? In a new paper our researcher Sergio Ruiz Cayuela explores the everyday tensions, contradictions, and negotiations that shape politically engaged research for professional scholars👇

🧡 Busquem persones migrants que visquin al Raval (Barcelona) i que s’hagin vist afectades per les onades de calor per participar en un taller de recerca remunerat sobre justícia climàtica. Ajuda’ns a fer-ne difusió!
#JustíciaClimàtica #Barcelona #ElRaval
In light of the new Lancet report on climate and health:
"one heat-related death every minute throughout the year"
while
"every heat-related death is preventable".

💧 Our Floods report reviews how flooding intersects w/ migration, health + inequality, revealing how racism, and marginalization deepen climate vulnerability. Floods are becoming more frequent and destructive across EU, but their health impacts aren’t felt equally👇 🔗 imbrace-erc.org/wp-content/u...
☀️ Our Heat report maps how extreme heat interacts with inequality, housing, and discrimination, identifying 8 key drivers of vulnerability. Europe’s deadly heatwaves are a growing health crisis, with over 61K heat-related deaths in 2022 alone 👇 🔗 imbrace-erc.org/wp-content/u...

🏙️ On #WorldHabitatDay we highlight how #housing inequality shapes #climateustice in EUcities. ‼️ #Migrants + refugees are more likely to live in overcrowded, poorly insulated homes, increasing heat-related health risks and deepening social vulnerability. @icta-uab.bsky.social @bcnuej.bsky.social
