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.

2) “Art and beauty can open conversations around difficult topics. The conference aims to be a meeting point between science and art, so the logo needed to reflect exactly that,” Lombardi says. The logo is built from real data: monthly global temperatures since the 1980s.

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
