Ikerbasque. Basque Foundation for Science

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 promotes a highly-qualified team of researchers with the primary objective of achieving excellence in research, training and dissemination.

Research lines:

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.

MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE AMOUNT OF CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERIENCED

Mitigation is one half of the climate challenge, with adaptation being the other. 

INTERNATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF CLIMATE POLICY 

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. 

DEVELOPING AND SUPPORTING RESEARCH THAT INFORMS CLIMATE POLICY IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY 

The aim is to act as the centre for research on all aspects of climate policy in the Basque Country, drawing on the substantial research that is ongoing in the universities and other research centre in the region.
