As part of the MATCH project, this round table discussion shifts the usual perspective on climate migration, understood as a mere consequence of environmental collapse. Instead of addressing it as an effect of crises—heat waves, fires, floods, or extreme storms—it also proposes recognising it as a source of situated knowledge capable of transforming the way we imagine and practise people’s adaptation to their territories, in both urban and rural contexts.

Panagiota Kotsila coordinates the IMBRACE project (UAB), which analyses how the knowledge and experiences of migrants can contribute to fairer forms of climate adaptation in different European cities. From an artistic perspective, Rae Teitelbaum explores ways of life, care and resilience in rural queer communities in Spain and Portugal. For his part, Josep Perelló leads OpenSystemsUB, a multidisciplinary research group at the University of Barcelona that drives research projects based on citizen participation and artistic practices.
