Embark on a compelling narrative that chronicles the experiences of Laura and Joan, students participating in a field trip to the Delta del Ebre, responding to a collaborative initiative spearheaded by the Center for Climate Change (C3) at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV). This narrative is shaped by the surf-centric climate services thesis of Dr. Anna Boqué, emphasizing the seamless integration of academic research into pragmatic climate mitigation measures. 

 Notably, the realization of this initiative is indebted to the steadfast support of the Department of Research and Universities of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Laura and Joan, guided by insights from the URV's Climate Change Research Center, engage in data analysis and strategic formulation of climate crisis interventions, exemplifying the transformative potential of interdisciplinary collaboration. 

 This story, available in both Catalan and English, forms an integral part of a collection disseminated to educational institutions and libraries. The accompanying website offers a didactic guide and a diverse array of materials for a thorough exploration, underscoring the intersection of academic research, climate services, and community-driven initiatives. Join us in acknowledging the catalyzing impact of collaboration and recognizing the pivotal role played by the Generalitat de Catalunya in empowering students to contribute meaningfully to a resilient and sustainable future. 

We acknowledge Carlos Lozano, Montse Español, Xavier Gómez Cacho, and Jordi Sales for their contribution to this work.
