The first interactive exhibition on climate change at the GAIA Centre
The exhibition “Climate Change and Us” was designed to highlight the causes and consequences of the phenomenon, but also the choices we have at our disposal. Its aim is understanding, awareness, and preparation for the changes to come.
WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change means alterations in average conditions and long-term weather phenomena of a region over time.
The main impacts are:
Rise in temperature, melting of ice, rise of sea levels
More intense extreme weather events
Desertification of soils
Losses in biodiversity
Direct and indirect impacts on health
This rapid change is mainly due to the intensification of the greenhouse effect, caused by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other human activities.
THE EXHIBITION
It consists of 17 interactive stations covering key thematic units:
Energy
Transport
Food production
Water use
Waste and recycling
Scientific research
Impacts on society and the environment
Personal responsibility and global dimension
The approach is experiential: visitors have the opportunity to see clearly how everyday choices affect the climate and to discover practical ways of taking action.
