Ravenna recognized for P.R.A.T.I.C.A. platform and its commitment to climate action and digital participation
We are excited to see the Municipality of Ravenna recognized by Esri Italia for its outstanding efforts in climate action! The innovative platform P.R.A.T.I.C.A. (Platform in Ravenna for Transition, Innovation, Change, and Adaptation) has been awarded for transforming complex issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, climate risks, and adaptation into interactive and accessible stories, involving every citizen.
At the heart of this recognition is Ravenna’s use of ArcGIS StoryMaps, a powerful tool that transforms climate data into dynamic digital narratives. These interactive stories not only make the data visible but also make it deeply understandable and useful for the community.
The platform goes beyond storytelling: it creates a space for active participation. With public surveys powered by Survey123 and real-time dashboards showing citizen contributions, every resident can feel involved and contribute to shaping the city’s climate future.
As gisAction, we are proud to have played a key role in this extraordinary project. Our work on StoryMaps and other digital solutions helped make the data more engaging, interactive, and accessible to all. But this project is not just about technology: it’s about building trust, fostering community participation, and empowering individuals to take action.
The P.R.A.T.I.C.A. platform, now recognized by Esri, sets a new standard for how cities can effectively communicate climate change and promote sustainable and meaningful changes. Ravenna’s leadership is a shining example of what is possible when technology and community come together for a common goal. We celebrate this achievement and invite other cities to follow Ravenna’s example in creating a more sustainable future.
