Klimagune 2019: Planificando la adaptación urbana al cambio climático
Bizkaia Aretoa Conference Hall Avda Abandoibarra, 3, Bilbao, SpainOctava edición de Klimagune Workshop se celebrará el 7 de junio de 2019 en el Bizkaia Aretoa de Bilbao y abordará los retos y oportunidades de la planificación local en la adaptación al cambio climático. Klimagune persigue generar un diálogo constructivo sobre las herramientas y recursos disponibles para elaborar los planes locales de adaptación que hagan frente a los principales impactos del cambio climático, como olas de calor, subida del nivel del mar, sequías y otros eventos extremos. La jornada está organizada en el marco del proyecto de investigación PROCESA y cuenta con el apoyo de la Fundación Biodiversidad, del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica.
BC3-EHU/UPV Summer School 2019: Transformation, Adaptation and Mitigation for a 1.5 degree Global Warming
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainThis year we run the 10th edition of the BC3-UPV/EHU Summer School on Climate Change that started in July 2010, when the international community was in the search of a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol, following a non-binding Copenhagen Accord put forth in 2009. Since then, the Summer School has covered a wide range of topics from an interdisciplinary perspective and has closely followed the international negotiations on climate change. Two years ago, the Summer School focused on the factors behind the paradigm shift in international policymaking, which eventually led to the Paris Agreement. Then, the US government’s decision to back out the agreement led to a “climate of uncertainty” that constituted the main topic discussed in last year’s edition.
Summer School: Resistencia a antibióticos en el medio ambiente: origen de un escenario apocalíptico
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainLas infecciones por bacterias multirresistentes son una de las mayores amenazas para la Salud Pública, tanto por el coste en vidas como por el gasto económico derivado. Pero, aunque las consecuencias más dramáticas se observan en el entorno clínico, el problema de la diseminación de resistencias a antibióticos tiene su origen en el medio ambiente, entendiendo como tal entornos agrícolas, ganaderos y urbanos. Esta situación plantea el reto de integrar distintos escenarios, léase, clínico, agro-ganadero y urbano.
BC3 Seminar: An integrated approach for the estimation of agricultural drought costs
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, Spain: This study proposes a novel method to assess the overall economic effects of agricultural droughts using a coupled agronomic-economic approach that accounts for the direct and indirect impacts of this hazard in the economy. This methodology is applied to Italy, where years showing different drought severity levels were analysed. Agricultural drought stress was measured using the fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR).
BC3 Seminar: Challenges of EU Agriculture facing Climate Change: Economic Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainOverview of quantitative work done by the lecturer in the last few years with different modelling tools to better understand the economic impacts of combating climate change. It includes the analysis of unilateral (e.g. emission targets) and multilateral policies (e.g. carbon taxation) and the promotion of climate change mitigation technologies (e.g. smart agriculture).

BC3 Seminar: Which fossil fuel prices promote innovation in electricity generation? Evidence before and after the shale gas revolution
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainWe evaluate the heterogeneous roles of fossil fuel prices on fossil fuel and renewable energy innovation in the electricity sector. Our analysis of a global firm-level electricity patent database from 1963 to 2016 suggests the relative impact of coal and natural gas prices on renewable innovation varies before and after the early 2000s’ shale gas revolution. Specifically, an increase in the coal-natural gas price ratio reduces renewable energy innovation before 2002, while increasing it after 2002. Therefore, policymakers must consider the coal-to-gas switch to effectively shift electricity-generating innovation away from carbon-intense technologies
ESP10 Word Conference – Aries Pre-Release
Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) nstitute of Physical Geography and Landscape Ecology, Schneiderberg Str. 50 30167, Hannover, GermanyThe training session ARIES (Artificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services) will illustrate how the ARIES modelling framework implements integration and interoperability approaches through semantic web modelling and how this approach can overcome some of the common challenges of data and model integration, providing a broad range of collaborative models from simple to complex, while efficiently reusing scientific and stakeholder knowledge and sharing it with the larger ecosystem services community.Alivedemowill show how its web interface k.Explorerworks.
IPBES 2nd author meeting for the values assessment
Vitoria-GasteizInternational specialists in biodiversity and ecosystems will meet next week in Vitoria-Gasteiz to address the multiple values and benefits offered by nature, its ecosystems and its biological diversity. This is the panel of experts of IPBES, Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, an independent intergovernmental body sponsored by the United Nations.
HAUSNARKARIAK ETA KLIMA ALDAKETA: Aingeru edo deabruak?
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainKlima aldaketari aurre egiteko behi okela jatea utzi behar dugu? Hausnarkarien inpaktuak Ingurumenean nola neurtzen dira? Informazioa nola zabaltzen dugu? Eta nola interpretatzen da?
Urriaren 28an, BC3n galdera hauen inguruan arituko gara Pablo Manzano (Helsinki Unibertsitatea), Agustin del Prado (BC3) eta ikerketa zentroko beste ikertzaile batzuekin.
Jardunaldiaren helburua, era pausatu batean, behi okelaren kontsumoaren inguruan sortu diren polemika desberdinen inguruan haritzea da eta honek ingurumenean duen inpaktuaz.
