Green Tides è un podcast in cinque episodi, in lingua inglese, dedicato alla resilienza costiera. La serie unisce narrazione scritta e interviste a esperti per spiegare che cosa significa resilienza costiera e come si costruisce: attraverso storia, educazione, tecnologia, giustizia ambientale e collaborazione. La serie è distribuita in lingua inglese, con la visibilità istituzionale internazionale all'interno della comunità del Decennio del Mare ONU come obiettivo primario. Dà voce a scienziati, giovani professionisti, partner istituzionali e comunità impegnati in prima linea sul cambiamento delle coste. Perché la resilienza costiera? Una costa non è una cartolina immobile: è un sistema vivo e dinamico. Mentre il livello del mare si alza, le tempeste si intensificano e l'erosione accelera, la domanda non è più se le coste cambieranno, ma se le comunità sono pronte ad affrontarlo. La resilienza costiera è la capacità dei sistemi naturali e socioeconomici di assorbire una perturbazione e continuare a funzionare nel cambiamento: non “congelando” le coste nel tempo, ma aiutandole ad adattarsi, resistere e riprendersi. Green Tides traduce questo concetto in storie, scienza e persone, rendendo tangibile e umano un tema tecnico.

    Episode 1 - Why Coastal Resilience Matters: A Historical and Systemic Perspective
    Jun 8 2026
    What does coastal resilience actually mean? And why does it shape the future of every coastline on Earth? In this opening episode of Green Tides, we trace how coastal resilience moved from a niche term to a global priority, from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and Agenda 2030 to the UN Ocean Decade. Then we get concrete, exploring how sea-level rise, coastal erosion, pollution and the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) are reshaping coastal environments and the communities that depend on them. You’ll come away understanding why protecting the coast is not about freezing it in time, but about helping coastal ecosystems and societies adapt, resist and recover under change. Featuring Prof. Nadia Pinardi, Director of the Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience (DCC-CR) and oceanographer; Prof. Elena Fabbri, Marine Physiologist and Head of the Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences, University of Bologna; and Prof. Greta Tellarini, Full Professor of Navigation and Transport Law, Department of Law, University of Bologna.

    Episode 2 - Educating for Coastal Futures: Training the Scientists and Citizens of Tomorrow
    Jun 16 2026
    How can education protect the future of our coasts? We unpack why ocean literacy is a core pillar of coastal resilience for scientists, citizens, communities, policymakers, and young professionals facing climate and ocean challenges firsthand. We follow learners from Brazil to Nigeria, the Philippines and beyond through DCC-CR programmes such as Co-Growth, COMPASS and the OceanTeacher Global Academy, seeing how training turns knowledge into action, from climate adaptation and marine conservation to remote sensing, water-quality monitoring and community-based solutions. Featuring Prof. Villy Kourafalou, Scientific Director of the DCC-CR; Isadora Timbó, coastal-resilience and climate-adaptation project lead at GITEC and member of the Women’s League for the Ocean; Abe Woo, Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP); and Esther Kadiene, Lecturer in marine and environmental biology at Delta State University, Abraka (Nigeria).
