This event is now fully booked.
Join us for a pilot of the Climate Walk in Milan in September 2024. Hosted by Ways to Walk as part of Milano Green Week.
Thousands of scientists around the world study and document climate change. Their findings are brought together in the IPCC report, a global summary of what’s happening and why.
Right here in Milan, researchers are working on the same questions: how our climate is changing, what it means for our region, and how we can adapt and act.
This walk isn’t about persuading you that climate change is real (the science already does that.) It’s about making the science visible: seeing its causes and solutions right here, in the streets, buildings, and systems of our city. It’s also an invitation to think critically about your role in this shared world and to reflect on what collective change might look like.
We begin with a short grounding and introduction, then visit four stations that each reveal a part of the city’s climate story:
- Food and agriculture – what we eat, where it grows, and how it travels.
- Buildings and energy – how we shelter and power our lives.
- Mobility and movement – the ways we navigate our world.
- Industry and production – how things are made, used, and renewed.
At each stop, you’ll hear a short story or insight, notice what’s around you, and share reflections in pairs or small groups. Between stations, we’ll walk and talk, connecting what we’ve seen to our own choices and communities.
We close by widening the lens: shifting from individual actions toward collective and civic possibilities. Together, we’ll explore how communities can spark change and how we can all move from awareness to meaningful action.
Before we finish, you’ll receive a short list of trusted resources if you’d like to dive deeper into the science and local initiatives.
This is not a lecture or a tour, but a shared conversation in motion, part reflection, part discovery, part invitation to act.
Duration: about 2–2.5 hours
What to bring: weather-appropriate clothing, curiosity, and an open mind
Walk leader: Suzanne Whitby, a climate communicator and facilitator who works with tools such as Climate Fresk, the MIT En-ROADS Climate Simulator, and the Deep Time Walk.
