Eurecat<\/a>\u00a0technology centre with a view to providing scientific and technological answers to help address the direct impact of climate change on health, migration, conflict and gender inequality across the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\u201cWomen and girls are disproportionately harmed by the effects of climate change,\u201d said Melissa Kerim-Dikeni, policy analyst at the OECD\u2019s Water Governance and Circular Economy Unit. She noted a recent OECD report saying that \u201conly seven OECD countries out of the 38 member states gathered gender-disaggregated data related to the environment and only 13 OECD countries look at gender aspects when drawing up environmental policies.\u201d In her view \u201cthis is not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen need to be consulted and take part in climate change initiatives,\u201d argued Mireia Mata, the Secretary General for Equality in the Government of Catalonia. She added that they should be \u201cequally represented in decision-making structures to allow them to input their unique and valuable perspectives and experience in climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scientific and technological solutions to climate change challenges<\/strong><\/p>\nDecisions about water quality are made on the basis of scientific knowledge in the field. However, \u201cmeasuring water quality for people is not enough as also we need to engage them in the process,\u201d pointed out Bernd M. Gawlik from the European Commission\u2019s Joint Research Centre.<\/p>\n
Bernd M. Gawlik was speaking during the event\u2019s second panel looking at the Renaissance of the Mediterranean and where the forthcoming edition of \u2018The Gateway to the Future of the Mediterranean\u2019, jointly published by the European Commission and the Eurecat technology centre, was also presented.<\/p>\n
This session underscored the importance of setting up a community of practice to roll out climate change measures for the future which gathers key actors from politics, science and the arts. It also set out the need to achieve an effective dialogue between science and the general public.<\/p>\n
Likewise, Tebaldo Vinciguerra from the Human Development Dicastery at the Holy See stressed that we have to \u201cinvestigate, promote and replicate good practices, inspiring real stories that work in Mediterranean cultures at a cross-border level\u201d and also on new initiatives, strategies and projects \u201cto engage religion, philosophy and anthropology from the outset.\u201d<\/p>\n
The conference additionally featured a panel in which the speakers unpacked and presented solutions in water, air quality, food production, transport, waste, energy, soils, mountains and deltas.<\/p>\n
\u201cClimate resilience entails a transformation of the socioeconomic system,\u201d noted Carles Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, scientific director of the Climate Resilience Centre and Head of the Climate Change Department at Eurecat. \u201cThat means not only an energy transition but also a socio-ecological transition, a new way of producing what we need and a new way of living with a much lower environmental impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xavier Domingo, the director of Eurecat\u2019s Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit, pointed out \u201cthe potential of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning coupled with similar data-driven approaches to provide effective decision support for adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change in Europe and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
