The urgency of the climate crisis has recently gained significant traction, with efforts and actions being recognized as necessary by experts and the public discourse in Albania. However, its integration into mainstream awareness remains largely limited to scientific circles, making it difficult for the general public to grasp and for decision-makers to articulate effectively. Unfortunately, the severity of the climate crisis hasn’t received enough focus in various sectors like governance, media, and education, hindering widespread awareness and understanding.

Ongoing Projects
Tackling Climate Change
Triggering Emissions Reductions in Power- and Emissions-Intensive Sectors (TERPEIS)

Monitoring Coastal Eutrophication through Earth Observation for ESA
The aim of this project is to provide data for a satellite monitoring system of coastal eutrophication conditions in two countries, Albania and Tanzania. REC Albania acts as the official and exclusive partner of CGI Italia for our country, and generates data for this system.
KlimaSOT – Scientific information channel about the climate in Albania
The project aims to enhance media coverage and public understanding of climate change in Albania. It addresses gaps in scientific coverage and public perception through various activities, including engaging national scientists, reacting to climate-related events, as well as facilitating networking between journalists and researchers.
