The SpongeBoost project is taking a creative approach to communicating its mission of enhancing and restoring wetlands and their multibeneficial functions. By consolidating existing knowledge, utilising best practices, and testing innovative approaches, the project aims to create a comprehensive roadmap for implementing transformative measures that improve resilience to extreme weather events.
This involves synthesising information for policy-making, practical restoration, and land-use planning, as well as showcasing successful examples of sponge restoration and its multiple benefits. In order to promote its objectives more engagingly, the project will be developing comic books featuring SpongeBoost’s original character, Spongy.

First edition
The first issue of SpongeBoost’s comic series, “Floods, Facts and Wetlands: How Sponge landscapes help to tackle the Climate Crisis”, was introduced during a hybrid workshop hosted by SpongeBoost partners from Deutsche Umwelthilfe in Berlin.
It offers an innovative method to convey the project's knowledge and tackle barriers with humor, fostering openness and dialogue.
The first issue has already been translated into nine languages and is now available on Zenodo and the project's website.
