Understanding the magnitude of the climate change adaptation (CCA) at a local scale is incomplete and is constrained by a limited understanding of if and how adaptation is taking place. Furthermore, it appears that CCA is a cross-cutting issue in all local policies and its impacts will affect the policies and plans of several sectors. The integration of adaptation in other urban policy sectors, also called ‘‘mainstreaming climate adaptation,’’ will enhance our understanding of the concept as well as the barriers and opportunities that influence these integration processes. This will also help us to explore strategies for overcoming barriers, and to create opportunities promoting more resilient cities and towns.

Short CV

Graduated in Law and specialized in Urban Planning. She has a long-standing experience working in the public sector in the field of urban planning and climate change. During the last 15 years she has been involved in developing urban-adapted climate change strategies and plans. Specifically, she has led the BIO Oficina de Cambio Climático de Bilbao (Climate Office of Bilbao), a position that has allowed her to know the first-hand needs and opportunities presented by climate change in territorial and urban planning. Additionally, she has also had the opportunity to participate in different European proposals and projects, such as Horizon 2020, Urban Innovation Actions, and LIFE programs, all related to the adaptation and sustainable urban planning.
Currently working at BC3 (Basque Centre of Climate Change) participating and/or coordinating different European projects on urban adaptation strategies to climate change. Meanwhile, she is also carrying out her PhD studies looking on "Mainstream Climate Resilience. How to mainstream climate change adaptation and mitigation into urban plans and policies? Developing a methodological integration tool"
This PhD studies are under the direction of the International University of Barcelona (UIC), and co-direction of BC3.
