The exhibition explores the importance of the Gulf Stream and the wider Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in regulating Europe's climate, and the serious consequences of their weakening due to climate change. It features a multimedia journey from the Azores to Svalbard.
Combining scientific research, satellite imagery and stories from communities across Europe, the exhibition illustrates how climate change is already affecting ecosystems, societies and economies. It highlights both the risks of a potential collapse of the ocean circulation system and the opportunities for climate action, adaptation and resilience. Ultimately, the exhibition aims to raise awareness and inspire collective action, showing how science and people can work together to address the climate crisis.
The European Committee of the Regions is hosting the exhibition but is not responsible for its content.
