The BC3 is a Research Centre based in the Basque Country, which aims at contributing to long term research on the causes and consequences of Climate Change in order to foster the creation of knowledge in this multidisciplinary Science.
The BC3 will promote a highly-qualified team of researchers with the primary objective of achieving excellence in research, training and dissemination.
- Adaptation to and the impacts of climate change
Understand the impacts of climate change on health, agriculture, water, ecosystems and biodiversity and Infrastructure services, identifying how best to respond to them.

The objectives are to contribute to a better understanding of the constraints to reaching international agreement on climate targets, to develop common measures of the costs of adaptation to climate in developed and developing countries and how adaptation to climate can be mainstreamed into the development strategies of developing countries.
