The Dictionary of the Energy Transition: New Terms for a Changing Model
type: item
description: The Dictionary of the Energy Transition, recently published by TERMCAT, is a structured, multilingual terminological resource that supports the profound transformation of the current energy model, which is essential to addressing climate change. Developed with the guidance of the Catalan Institute of Energy and the support of the Government of Andorra, the dictionary includes 551 terms categorized into thematic areas such as general concepts, units of measurement, foundations and principles, renewable energy sources, and strategies and technologies. Each entry provides terms in Catalan, definitions, and equivalents in Spanish, French, and English, along with complementary notes in most cases. This tool promotes linguistic standardization, facilitates conceptual understanding, and supports both newcomers to the field and professionals involved in the energy transition.

Crisis, Emergency or Catastrophe? The Power of Terminology in Climate Risk Communication
type: item
description: In a context of accelerated global warming, the way climate risk is communicated plays a key role in shaping public perception, emotions, and actions. This article examines the role of terminology and journalistic language in the social construction of climate risk, highlighting how terms such as crisis, emergency, or catastrophe can elicit different responses. Based on a cocreation workshop and analysis of real cases, it proposes good practices for clearer, more rigorous, and transformative climate communication. It also warns of the rise of climate delayism and misinformation, and highlights the importance of educational and communicative tools to counteract them and foster a critical, empowering climate discourse.

The Climate Crisis in Education: From Neglect to Action
type: item
description: Climate change education is a relatively recent addition to the school curriculum, despite the fact that climate change has been a part of our daily reality for decades. In Catalonia heatwaves, floods, and wildfires have a direct impact on public health, infrastructure, and school operations. The new educational legislation (LOMLOE and Decree 175/2022) introduces climate crisis content in both primary and secondary education through a cross-curricular approach rooted in ecosocial education. This perspective fosters critical awareness, action, and ethical engagement among students. The education approach aims to develop knowledge and competencies through real-life experiences, such as schoolyard greening projects, encouraging a transformative climate change education aligned with sustainability and global justice.

The Terminological Politics of Climate Change
type: item
description: This article reviews the terminological evolution of the phenomenon known as climate change. Since the 19th century, researchers like Eunice Foote and Svante Arrhenius proposed the greenhouse effect, while in the 20th century terms such as «global warming» and «climate change» became scientifically established. With the creation of the IPCC (1988) and the UNFCCC (1992), «climate change» became a legal and political term. The article highlights the introduction of «climate emergency» (2016) to emphasize the urgency to act, driven by social movements and international organizations. It also analyzes how terminology can reflect ideological positions and shape public debate. Finally, it addresses mitigation and adaptation responses and the concept of «climate justice» for distributing responsibilities and costs, especially in the context of recent international litigation.

Communicating Science in Times of Climate Emergency
type: item
description: The recent Copernicus report warns that we have already surpassed 1.5 °C of global warming—an alarming milestone that calls for an effective and responsible communication response. In this context, CREAF (Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications) stands out for its pioneering work in science communication, supported by a multidisciplinary team that tailors messages to diverse social profiles to make the climate crisis understandable and relevant. From educational projects like Desfake Clima, which helps teenagers detect misinformation, to Esfera Climàtica, which trains female researchers as media spokespersons, CREAF embraces science outreach as a tool for social connection. The centre also promotes citizen science through initiatives such as Alerta Forestal and RitmeNatura, and collaborates with artists and content creators to expand impact and humanize messages. This holistic approach demonstrates that effective science communication is essential to addressing today’s environmental challenges and mobilizing society.

Vascular surgery terminology in Catalan
type: item
description: The article analyses 150 vascular surgery terms in Catalan, aiming to identify and assess the availability of terms in key reference sources: Cercaterm (TERMCAT), Vocabulari de les ciènciesde la salut (AVL), Diccionari Enciclopèdic de Medicina (IEC), and the Catalan-language Wikipedia. It also seeks to determine which of these sources is most suitable for consulting specialised terminology in this field. The findings indicate that Cercaterm is the most comprehensive source, covering 83% of the analysed terms, though its explanations are often quite brief. The Diccionari Enciclopèdic de Medicina provides more detailed definitions and descriptions; however, its search function is inefficient, and the terms have not been updated to align with the latest Catalan orthographic standards. Wikipedia is notable for its extensive presence of eponyms and the breadth of content andcontext provided for each term. The Vocabulari de les ciències de la salut includes only basic terms, but its PDF format facilitates searching. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for more comprehensive and up-to-date resources in fields such as vascular surgery to improve and standardise communication within the medical context.

Diccionaris escolars: les informacions d’interès segons el nivell d’aprenentatge
type: item
description: Aquest treball té com a objectiu entendre millor la manera com els nens i adolescents, segons el seu nivell escolar, defineixen conceptes. A través de l’anàlisi de definicions proporcionades per públics de diferent nivell d’aprenentatge (ensenyaments primari, secundari i universitari), s’han pogut elaborar categories d’informació quant a prioritat i interès a l’hora de descriure un concepte. Els resultats d’aquest estudi poden ser de gran ajuda per als lexicògrafs escolars, particularment a l’hora de decidir quins tipus d’informació han d’incloure en les definicions de termes, amb l’objectiu de satisfer les necessitats lexicogràfiques dels usuaris escolars.

Riding on common names, the natural way of naming nature
type: item
description: At the end of 2024 the «Diccionari dels mamífers del món» was presented, a monumental work that offers the denomination in Catalan of 6,793 species of mammals from all over the world. Hence, Catalan joins other languages such as English, French, German and Spanish, which have their own names for all known mammal species. The Latin binominal nomenclature is the way in which science orders and classifies the diversity of living beings. However, common names are still fundamental to describe nature, and allow us to understand the notion of meaning, its extensions, reflect the adaptation to the environment, the evolution of language and contribute to the construction of our thinking.
