The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and develop a land-sector roadmap of priority measures and regions that can help to achieve the 1.5 °C temperature goal. Transforming the land sector and deploying measures in agriculture, forestry, wetlands and bioenergy could feasibly and sustainably contribute about 30%, or 15 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) per year, of the global mitigation needed in 2050 to deliver on the 1.5 °C target, but it will require substantially more effort than the 2 °C target

Climate change and biodiversity conservation are the two great environmental challenges of our age. One of the greatest social challenges is equity, which, in addition, is one of the basic pillars of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Previous studies have analysed the relations between climate change and biodiversity, showing a positive correlation between both variables.

The Basque Centre for Climate Change will present the ARIES (Artificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services) modelling framework at the 10th World Conference of the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) in a pre-conference training. The participants to the training will have the chance to try a preview release of k.Explorer, an internet browser-based user interface, which provides an easy way to access the ARIES network of models and data.

Los mejores especialistas internacionales en materia de biodiversidad y ecosistemas se darán cita la semana que viene en Vitoria-Gasteiz para abordar los múltiples valores y beneficios que ofrece la naturaleza, sus ecosistemas y su diversidad biológica. Se trata del panel de expertos de IPBES, la Plataforma Intergubernamental Científico-Normativa sobre Diversidad Biológica y Servicios de los Ecosistemas, un órgano intergubernamental independiente auspiciado por Naciones Unidas. El Departamento de Medio Ambiente, Planificación Territorial y Vivienda del Gobierno Vasco y el Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) han hecho posible traer a la capital alavesa este encuentro, que también cuenta con el apoyo del Ayuntamiento de Vitoria-Gasteiz y de la Diputación Foral de Álava.

Marc Neumann, investigador Ikerbasque en BC3 ha participado en la jornada "Los ODS y el Cambio Climático, Retos Contemporáneos de la Ingeniería" organizada por los Colegios de Ingenieros Industriales de Bizkaia y de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de Euskadi. La jornada, celebrada el miércoles 16 de octubre, entre las 16 y las 20 horas, ha sido la primera de un ciclo encaminado a orientar y alinear el ejercicio de nuestra profesión con los enfoques de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), ejes vertebradores de la estrategia y política inversora de las administraciones públicas de nuestro entorno en los próximos años.
