Visualising Climate 2026 is the first global conference dedicated to data visualisation and climate in Bologna, Italy 🇮🇹 | 4–6 Nov 2026. The rose at the heart of its visual identity is rooted in the very reasons why the conference exists. Do you want to know more about our logo? Follow the thread

1) The conference logo was designed by Dr Anna Lombardi @annalombardi.bsky.social, Climate Data Visualiser at the Copernicus Climate Change Service (Copernicus ECMWF @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ). Her aim: to create an image that sparks curiosity and gently invites people in.

3) As Lombardi explains: “Scientific data can feel overwhelming. The idea was to use a visual language that can be felt as well as understood. The numbers become a blooming rose — familiar, organic, yet unsettling once you know what it represents.” The data used is openly available at CDS Copernicus
