BC3 Webinar – Heat and health: linking climate science and epidemiology

BC3-Basque Centre for Climate Change Sede Building 1, 1st floor, Scientific Park of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Bizkaia, Spain

Climate change is the defining public health challenge of the century. Its impacts are already visible, and current evidence agrees that these will amplify as warming progresses. The contribution of epidemiologists is crucial – not only to understand the mechanisms and the magnitude and extension of the health impacts but also to furnish policymakers with scientifically grounded evidence on solutions to protect the population.

Manejo sostenible de pastos de montaña (o la vidase una pastora y sus ovejas)

Cuando a finales de la primavera pasada fui al Pirineo de Behe Nafarroa, aún tenía una visión muy académica del pastoreo de montaña. Sabía que un manejo sostenible de los pastos de montaña implica evitar el sobrepastoreo, que crea suelos desnudos, tanto como el infrapastoreo, que da paso a la matorralización (con el subsiguiente riesgo de incendios). Las consecuencias de ambos son el aumento de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.

Jornada sobre el cambio climático: ¿de dónde venimos, dónde estamos y a dónde queremos llegar?

El próximo miércoles, 27 de abril, se celebrará en el Paraninfo de la Facultad de Ciencia y Tecnología (ZTF-FCT) una jornada para analizar los informes que el Panel Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre Cambio Climático (IPCC) ha publicado recientemente, en su 6º Ciclo de Evaluación (6AR). La Jornada, que abordará ¿DE DÓNDE VENIMOS, DONDE ESTAMOS Y A DONDE QUEREMOS LLEGAR? contará con la
participación de diversos autores y autoras de estos informes.

Side event: Land footprint embodied in international trade: a new tool to assess distant drivers of deforestation

According to the State of Agricultural Commodity markets 2020 (FAO, 2021), global trade in agricultural commodities has more than doubled in real value between 1995 and 2018. While this offers opportunities for economic development and progress in food security, increased food production has also induced growing environmental impacts, notably through land use changes.
