Engaging the Public with Science in the Basque Country: On scientists’ experiences and perspectives
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2016-09)Public participation in the development of science and technology is key in modern societies, and scientists’ understanding of their responsibility and agency within this practice is still underexplored. - Face-to-face ... -
Ensembles of ecosystem service models can improve accuracy and indicate uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2020)Many ecosystem services (ES) models exist to support sustainable development decisions. However, most ES studies use only a single modelling framework and, because of a lack of validation data, rarely assess model accuracy ... -
Ensuring a just energy transition: A distributional analysis of diesel tax reform in Spain with stakeholder engagement
(Energy Policy, 2023)Despite the consensus that green taxation is an effective way to accelerate the decarbonization of economies, few countries are implementing ambitious tax reforms. This is the case of diesel for transport in Spain. The ... -
