Under the title "Bridging science, services and standards for a future resistant to climate change", the Climateurope2 festival was held in Venice, Italy, on March 11-13, 2024. This innovative on-site event, organized by the project, differed from the traditional scientific conference by incorporating artistic, capacity building and participatory activities. It included a combination of plenary sessions and interactive formats such as World Cafés. In addition, the marketplace allowed visitors to network and learn about other projects and initiatives. The festival served as an ideal platform to promote discussion and knowledge sharing between people from different sectors related to climate services. With a large turnout, many attendees lingered throughout the event. The input gathered will be invaluable in expanding the community network and identifying experiences to inform standardization recommendations. (More on climateeurope2.eu)
