In the fight against climate change, the best scientific knowledge at the highest level is essential as a basis for decision making and the definition of public policies.
In this process, I would like to mention first, the importance of the past as the key to understand the future. Understanding past processes and their effects is critical to properly define future strategies. Second, we must remember the principle "think global, act local". Rigorously analyze the specific situation of the Basque Country must serve to promote and develop the best policies to cope with this threat.
