BC3. Basque centre for climate change – Klima aldaketa ikergai

Natural capital needs to be managed in environmentally-sustainable, economically-efficient and socially-just ways. This is not an easy task but science can help us in such an endeavour. A field where science can play a particularly important role is that of climate change research.

The negative impacts of climate change on the most disadvantaged people on Earth and on biodiversity calls both for policy action and research. We should not underestimate the role of science to assist policy in achieving a fairer de-carbonised economic system and to help people and biodiversity to adapt to increasing climate risks. This is one of the most pressing issues of our time.
