BC3 Lunch Seminar: Heat waves and impacts in the urban systems

Urban systems are not only major drivers of climate change, but also impact hotspots. The processes of global warming and urban population growth make our urban agglomerations vulnerable to chain reactions triggered by climate related hazards. Hence, the reliable and cost-effective assessment of future climate impact is of high importance. Two major approaches emerge from the literature: i) detailed spatially explicit assessments, and ii) more holistic approaches consistently assessing multiple cities.

Post-Doctoral position: Development of economic models to support low carbon transitions

The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) opens a competitive call for applications to one Post-Doctoral contract to contribute to the development of dynamic-econometric input-output models to support low carbon transitions in the context of the LOCOMOTION project, funded by the H2020 program. The overall objective of LOCOMOTION is to enhance existing Integrated Assessment Models in order to provide policy makers and relevant stakeholders with a reliable and practical model system to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, costs and impacts of different transition pathways towards a low-carbon society. BC3·leads a work package focused on Economic & financial system modelling. The research will be conducted at BC3 but also in collaboration with other international research institutions.
