CIDAPE team in Italy: Climate change and the configuration of power

05.05.2025

Focus Groups conducted by CIDAPE WP6 in Italy: Manuela Caiani (WP-Lead), Nikolaos Saridakis (team member), Ipek Demirsu (team member), and Giovanni Starita (external fellow).

During the focus group discussion held in Napoli (28.04.2025) at a co-working space called Dialogue, participants were asked to reflect on five protest scenarios related to climate change, trying to assess their critical issues and potential responses. Starting from this discussion and this in-depth educational analysis of the possible scenarios, WP6 proposes the use of the Hyperpolitics matrix to try to map the main political dimensions that gravitate around the issue of climate change. The goal of the matrix is to serve as an interpretative tool to represent the tensions between institutional and non-institutional actors, forms of participation and economic powers, all to offer a complex but structured view of the climate phenomenon.
