BC3 offers research possibilities covering health and climate change, climate modelling, agricultural sector responses to climate, water issues related to climate and climate policy in developing countries.

We are also open to new areas of research when we appoint new researchers.”

Anil Markandya
(Scientific Director of BC3)

The BC3 is a Research Centre based in the Basque Country which aims to contribute 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 seeks to prepare 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
To understand the impacts of climate change on health, agriculture, water, ecosystems and biodiversity and infrastructure services, identifying how best to respond to them.

International dimensions of climate policy
The objectives are to contribute to a better understanding of the obstacles 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.
