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.
BC3 Seminar: Can co-creation of (students of) the arts and sciences enhance public climate-consciousness?
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainOne of the most challenging aspects of the Anthropocene and ongoing climate change is the aspect of change. Environments change, we change environments, so now humanity needs to change. Change our perceptions of the planet and the self, our research and working methods, our idiom and visual narratives, and also teaching methods. Drawing from experiences of artists collective Satellietgroep and the educational pilot project called Beyond Technology, Dutch artist-curator Jacqueline Heerema shares methods that target at inclusive co-creation of knowledge to enhance professional and public climate-consciousness.
BC3 Seminar: European forest ecosystem dynamics mapped from space
BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, SpainIncreasing mortality has been reported for many forests across Europe, but exact rates and trends remain poorly quantified. We tackle this lack of knowledge by using satellite data for quantifying and mapping rates and trends in forest mortality across Europe.
