Two years of Climate AI Nordics – celebrating with an improved website
Two years ago, on 24 October 2024, we started Climate AI Nordics. What began as an idea to connect Nordic researchers working on AI for climate and the environment has grown into a community of 272 researchers in the Nordics from 119 organisations, plus 146 supporting affiliates from outside the Nordics. Thank you all for being part of it!
To celebrate, we have given our website a makeover. Below we first look back at some highlights from our second year, and then show what is new on the website.
Highlights from our second year
- AICC at EurIPS 2025. In December we co-organized the workshop AI for Climate and Conservation at the first EurIPS conference in Copenhagen. Read the reflections.
- Our own YouTube channel. We launched an official YouTube channel, so that you can watch recordings of our webinars whenever it suits you.
- A formal partnership with Climate Change AI. In May we partnered with Climate Change AI, and we were also a network partner of the CCAI 2026 virtual summer school.
- The 2nd Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate. In June, researchers, practitioners and industry representatives gathered in Copenhagen for a full day of keynotes, talks, posters and discussions, including lunch under the trees in a nearby park. Read the recap.
- An official non-profit. In August, Climate AI Nordics was registered as a non-profit association (ideell förening) in Sweden, which gives the network a solid foundation for the years ahead.
- AICC-2 at ECCV 2026. In September we co-organized the second edition of AICC, this time at ECCV in Malmö. Read the recap.
- Looking ahead. The 3rd Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate will take place in Oslo on 22 April 2027. Save the date!
On top of this, we have kept up our monthly newsletters, webinars, featured works and featured members. A big thank you to all speakers, authors, organizers and partners who made this possible.
An improved website for our next chapter
With a growing network and more and more content, our old website had started to feel cramped: long pages of text, small images and few ways to find what you were looking for. So, as a birthday present to ourselves (and hopefully to you), we have redesigned it in several ways.
A visual style built from our logo
The new look starts from our globe logo. The teal and sage-green colours are taken directly from it, so the website, the logo and our other material now belong together. We use two clear, modern typefaces: Manrope for headings and Inter for body text. Content is organized in cards with images, which makes it much quicker to scan. And instead of a stock landscape, the homepage now shows real photos from our own events, because the people are what makes this network.
A homepage that tells you what is going on
The homepage now leads with who we are and three clear ways in: join the network, see upcoming events, or meet the people. Right below are live numbers about the network, which update automatically as new members join. After that come cards for upcoming events, the latest news, featured works and job openings.
Filter the news
The News page brings together news, featured works, featured members and job openings. You can now filter by type with one click, for example to see only job openings.
Events that are easier to follow
The Events page is now split into Upcoming and Past events, and past events with a recording get a “Recording” label. Each event page has a clear box with the date, weekday, time and location. All our recorded talks are collected on the recordings page.
Designed for your phone, too
Many of you read our news on your phone, so every page has been checked on small screens. The menu folds into a compact button, the pages no longer scroll sideways, and the old sidebar no longer pushes the content down.
And much more
- Sharper images throughout the news and event lists.
- A “More news / More events” section at the end of each post, with related posts.
- A new footer with quick links, contact details and our social media channels.
- Cleaner About, Join, Follow and Partners pages, with clear buttons and a card for each of our partners.
We hope you like the updated website! If something doesn’t work as expected, or if you have ideas for improvements, please let us know at contact@climateainordics.com.
Here’s to the next year of AI for climate action across the Nordics, and see you in Oslo!
A note on AI use
In the spirit of transparency: much of the work behind the new website was done with the help of an AI coding assistant, which wrote most of the code for the new layout and styles, fixed bugs, prepared the image versions and screenshots. All design decisions were ours: we chose the direction, tried every change on a separate test version of the site, asked for many adjustments, and approved each change before it went live. The photos on the website are real photos from our own events.
