Climate resilience is key to adapting Mediterranean territories to the effects of climate change, protecting ecosystems and generating new opportunities through the bioeconomy. From the retreat of deltas to the loss of fertility of fields, through increasingly vulnerable forests, more extreme temperatures and coastal regression, the effects of climate change are already part of [...]
The Cassandra Conference has highlighted the role of local communities in driving innovation and the development of technologies to help mitigate the impacts of climate change and its links to health, migration, gender equity and potential conflicts. The third edition of the conference, which brought together over two days leading voices in science and [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is leading the Cassandra conference, with the aim of addressing the most urgent sociopolitical consequences of climate change, a forum that will take place on 4 and 5 February and which constitutes an international strategic platform where industrial leaders, policymakers and civil society confront the risks and consequences arising from [...]
The European project IMPETUS, focused on implementing solutions for climate change adaptation in Europe, is now entering its final stage with significant results in Catalonia that demonstrate the potential of technological and nature-based solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change in the Catalan coast. The activities in the Catalan coast, which will conclude [...]
The technology centre Eurecat and CREAF have established a joint research and innovation unit to develop and transfer technological solutions to society and industry, aiming to accelerate the adaptation of Catalonia to the effects of climate change. The alliance between the two organizations seeks to ensure that Catalonia is prepared to face global warming [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with other European institutions and universities, has conducted a study on the effects of climate change, particularly rising sea levels, on the disappearance of wetlands on the Mediterranean coast. The study points to the need to take action to prevent these formations from vanishing before the end of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has set up a unit in its Sustainability Area that brings together applied research, innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration to develop climate solutions and improve territorial, coastal, water and business resilience targeting the bioeconomy and nature-based solutions. The Climate Solutions and Ecosystem Services (CLIMSES) team also assesses and delivers strategies supporting [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the BlauCat project which analyses the state of blue carbon in Catalonia’s coastal ecosystems to enhance the key role of wetlands and other coastal systems as natural carbon reservoirs which can capture and store carbon efficiently. The initiative will also design strategies for conserving and restoring coastal ecosystems [...]
The second workshop hosted by the Climate Resilience Centre (CRC), coordinated by Eurecat, stressed the importance of prioritising collaborative and consensus-based climate action in Catalonia with the engagement of the public and private sectors and society in general to make progress in climate resilience by driving the bioeconomy and climate change adaptation and mitigation [...]
The Climate Resilience Centre (CRC), coordinated by the Eurecat technology centre, has signed a partnership agreement with the United Nations-backed Global Ocean Negative Carbon Emissions (Global ONCE) research programme which cements it as an international player in innovative solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation in coastal and marine areas. This research programme is [...]
