An outstanding panel on climate change communication and the information landscape: from art to technology, architecture to media, to the use of artificial intelligence to recognize fake news. A selection of cutting-edge projects that bring together the knowledge, awareness, and action of almost 200 candidates for the second edition of the CMCC Climate Change Communication Award “Rebecca Ballestra”.


The main challenges for the communication sector and the role of information based on scientific knowledge in supporting the climate transition have been at the core of the event “Foresight Dialogues 2023: Our planet, climate and society,” organized on November 16 by the CMCC Foundation – Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change – in the context of the Earth Technology Expo at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. The event, which hosted leading international experts and the most innovative climate change communication projects, brought the second edition of the CMCC Climate Change Communication Award “Rebecca Ballestra,” the CMCC’s initiative that promotes, rewards and creates a network of the best climate change communication initiatives around the world to a close.


Among the participants are John Cook, founder of the award-winning website Skeptical Science, who joined in dialogue with Paula Gori from the European Digital Media Observatory on the topic of misinformation; Stefano Boeri Architetti bringing their unique perspectives to the table; Karen Florini with Climate Central’s American journalism; this year’s winner Milan Jacob, a visual storytelling expert chronicling resilience in India; the art and science project team of The Cooling Solution; the podcast Bello Mondo, a podcast that brings research and media together through the authors Elisa Palazzi and Federico Taddia; and Jeff Biggers with his theatrical monologue. The event was led by Mauro Buonocore, Agnese Glauda and Alessandra Mazzai of CMCC.
