#ClimateChange #ReliefMaps
4/5 🗺️ Using Climate Relief Maps, developed within #INTERMAPS, the study brings together embodiment, intersectionality, and spatial perspectives to understand how climate change is experienced differently across bodies, social positions, and places.
3/5 Drawing on 87 participants and 5 focus groups, the study explores how climate change reshapes everyday life through:
• Physical and emotional distress
• Loss of sense of place
• Changes in social and community practices
• Tensions between responsibility and agency
2/5 🌍 Climate change is not only a future threat or an abstract environmental issue. It is already experienced in everyday life through our bodies, emotions, routines, and relationships with places.
But these experiences are diverse.
1/5 📢 New publication from the #INTERMAPS project!

7/ ⚖️Why it matters: CRM helps surface unequal climate experiences, including emotional and social impacts often missed in standard approaches and supports context-specific, equitable responses.
6/ 🌎It illustrates the method with a Catalonia pilot with 87 participants, demonstrating its potential for adaptability and scalability
5/ It offers a model that integrates quantitative, qualitative and spatial data to study everyday climate change in a complex and comprehensive manner.
4/ The tool works in 3 steps:
🫂 intersectional profile
🗨️ climate impacts across everyday spaces with level of (dis)comfort + narratives + emotions
🗾 georeferenced map of key locations across scales
3/ 📊CRM combines mixed methods + digital tools + GIS to connect:
social positions (e.g., gender/class/race/age) + everyday spaces + emotions + climate impacts.
