SpongeWorks featured in France 24 report on climate resilience in the Lèze river basin
SpongeWorks has been featured in an 11-minute report by international news channel France 24, highlighting efforts to build climate resilience in the Lèze river basin in southwestern France through nature-based and agroecological approaches.
The report explores how local stakeholders, scientists and farmers are working together to address increasing flood risks, soil erosion and climate pressures through sponge measures that help landscapes intercept, slow and store water. It showcases practical measures such as cover crops and river restoration, while also examining the broader challenges of adapting agricultural landscapes to a changing climate.
Importantly, the feature gives voice directly to local actors — including farmers and researchers — illustrating both the opportunities and the real-world complexities involved in implementing sponge strategies on the ground. It represents a major visibility milestone for SpongeWorks, helping communicate the project’s objectives and practical relevance to an international audience.
