El grupo impulsor del Manifiesto Por una Recuperación Sostenible lanza el Pacto País para la Adaptación al Cambio Climático con el fin de evitar los daños, minimizar los impactos del cambio climático, fortalecer la resilencia y promover las oportunidades de una agenda de adaptación. Un equipo investigador de BC3, junto a organizaciones y entidades, se une al acuerdo social, donde también participan diferentes responsables políticos.

BC3 restarts its ecomeetings, an initiative that was paused during the pandemic and that will be coordinated by Ikerbasque researchers at BC3 Ainhoa Magrach and Daniel Montoya. Ecomeetings are monthly meetings where ecologists and other researchers related to the subject can meet to talk about the latest advances in the discipline.

Anil Markandya, Ikerbasque distinguished professor and BC3 former director, has been ranked #12 in Spain among Best Scientists for 2023 of Research.com in the discipline of Economics and Finance.

BC3 has recently joined the four-year project NBSOIL, which stands for Nature-Based Solutions for Soil Management. NBSOIL, which officially kicked off last December 12, is coordinated by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (IUNG-PIB), along AgriSat Iberia, Instituto Técnico Agronómico Provincial de Albacete (ITAP) and REVOLVE.

New technology, such as cloud computing, remote sensing and artificial intelligence (AI) can play an important role in sustainable agriculture, optimizing resources, providing key spatial-temporal information and identifying the most appropriate and effective practices for better management.

Following our “Women and girls in climate change science” initiative from last year, BC3 will organize two open webinars on February 13, 2023, one in English (10am) and one in Basque (11am), to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, as part of the Emakumeak Zientzian initiative

María José Sanz, directora científica de BC3, ha sido nombrada asesora del Comité Científico Asesor del Consejo Vasco de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación. La directora científica de BC3 trabajará junto a otros nueve destacados especialistas del ámbito público y académico.

BC3 received the distinction of Collaborating Entity for the Equality of Women and Men awarded by the Basque Institute for Women – Emakunde, an autonomous organization of the Basque Government that designs, promotes, advises, coordinates and evaluates equality policies.

BC3 will participate in the Emakumeak Zientzian initiative with the event“Training Caravan - Women and girls in Climate Change”, on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which is celebrated every year on 11 February. The day will consist of a round table broadcast online from BC3. Two female scientists working on climate change will talk about their personal and professional experiences.

El investigador de BC3 Mikel González-Eguino ha obtenido la posición de Ikerbasque Research Professor por su destacada trayectoria científica. La investigación de González-Eguino tiene como objetivo apoyar la toma de decisiones para acelerar la transición hacia una economía baja en carbono, sostenible y que promueva la justicia social.
