call to transform urban climate stories into comics

Urban ReLeaf invites comic artists, illustrators, writers, and digital creators to submit proposals for an exciting new opportunity in Athens, Greece. 

Why this matters

Climate change affects everyone, but not equally. In Athens, some neighborhoods experience higher temperatures, reduced access to green space, and poorer air quality than others. 

Through the Urban ReLeaf project, residents of the city have been collecting environmental data on urban heat, thermal comfort, trees, and air quality, revealing how the climate crisis is experienced differently across the city. These insights offer powerful stories about everyday life in urban environments. 

We now want to transform this data into engaging comic-based storytelling that communicates environmental challenges, highlights local initiatives, and inspires action, especially among young people and students.
