Notimérica reports that people who hold grants from Fundación La Caixa have publicly defended the part research plays in tackling climate change. The story was published on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. The report does not name the fellows involved, give the location of their remarks, or describe the format of the event.
The fellows' intervention places the foundation's grant recipients among those arguing that scientific work belongs at the centre of the response to a changing climate. According to Notimérica, the message was framed around the value of investigation itself rather than any single project or finding.
Fundación La Caixa is a Spanish philanthropic body that awards fellowships, and the reporting ties the speakers to that programme. Beyond the headline and summary, no further detail on the fellows' fields of study, the scale of the grants, or the audience they addressed is available in the source material.
The report offers no figures, no policy proposals and no named speakers, so the substance of the fellows' argument cannot be set out further here. What is clear is that a group of foundation-funded researchers chose to make the case in public rather than confine it to their own disciplines.
Watch for fuller coverage from Notimérica or from Fundación La Caixa itself, which may identify the speakers, their research areas and the occasion for their remarks.
