“CO2 PACMAN, decarbonizing the Mediterranean islands" is the podcast in which uRadio and the University of Siena drive you on the journey to discover co-creation scenarios for the transition towards climate-neutral Mediterranean islands.

CO2 PACMAN is a European project, financed by the Interreg Euro Med programme, which aims to decarbonize the Mediterranean islands. The kick off meeting of the project was hosted by the city of Siena in March 2024, and during this three-day event ten partners from seven European countries involved in the project activities met each other for the first time. The event has been led by Professor Simone Bastianoni of the University of Siena.

uRadio, as an associated partner of UNISI, has become part of this participatory process which sees various actors involved, as we believe that the voice of university students is fundamental for a sustainable development in the Mediterranean islands.Copyright uRadio Science

    The CO2 PACMAN Final conference in Athens
    Jun 23 2026
    In this episode of the CO2 PACMAN podcast, we take you to Athens for the final Impact Forum of the project: “Co-Designing Pathways to Climate Neutrality: From Island Experience to Wider Change.”Through exclusive interviews, we explore how Mediterranean islands can become living laboratories for climate neutrality, innovation, and community engagement.We hear from students from Elba and Brač who took part in the Youth Think Tank, sharing their ideas for the future of their islands. We speak with a participant from the Open Innovation Collaborative Action, reflecting on how innovative solutions can respond to real local challenges. And we meet GEO Imaging to discover how interactive tools and virtual reality can help people better understand climate scenarios and support decision-making.From youth participation to digital innovation, this episode looks at what CO2 PACMAN leaves behind — and what comes next for climate-neutral islands.
