New Interview: How PRO-CLIMATE Empowers Communities for Climate Action

📅 Published on ALTER’s platform – June 2025

We are happy to share a recent interview conducted by ALTER with the coordinator of the PRO-CLIMATE project, Iason Tamiakis. The feature highlights the innovative approach of PRO-CLIMATE in empowering communities to drive climate action through behavioral change, social innovation, and collaborative learning.

In the interview, our team elaborates on:

  • 🔍 What makes PRO-CLIMATE unique: From our inclusive Living Labs methodology to our emphasis on community narratives, we aim to make climate adaptation personal, participatory, and equitable.

  • đź§© The role of behavioral science: How understanding motivations and social dynamics can unlock real, lasting transformation at the local level.

  • 🌱 Tools for local transformation: From co-creation workshops to policy dialogues, we aim to build capacities and confidence among local actors to lead change.

This interview is part of a broader effort to raise awareness, share insights, and strengthen cross-project learning within the European climate adaptation landscape.

We invite all our partners, stakeholders, and fellow change-makers to read the article and share your reflections. Let’s keep the conversation going!
