What can conservation strategies learn from the ecosystem services approach? Insights from ecosystem assessments in two Spanish protected areas
(Springer, 2018)Biodiversity conservation strategies that overlook the interests of local people are prone to create conflicts. The ecosystem service approach holds potential for more comprehensively integrating the social dimension into ... -
What climatic impacts are Spanish cities preparing for?
(Ekonomiaz, 2020)Cities play an important role in identifying climate impacts on population, urbanization and infrastructure, and in making decisions regarding how, how much and when we should adapt. We present here an analysis of the ... -
What economic benefit is achieved by reducing air pollution through trees in the Basque Country?
(Ekonomiaz, 2020-01-01)This study estimates air pollution removal by trees in the Basque Country and calculates their economic value. The study has developed a model that simulates the process of dry deposition on trees on an hourly basis of ... -
What happened during the climate change negotiations in Copenhagen 2009?
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-06-05)This policy briefing summarizes the results of the last United Nations Climate Change summit (COP 15) held in Copenhagen (Denmark) between 7-18 December. The postures taken by the main countries during the summit, the main ... -
What is the Price of Conservation? A Review of the Status Quo and Recommendations for Improving Cost Reporting
(BioScience, 2022)Wildlife conservation is severely limited by funding. Therefore, to maximize biodiversity outcomes, assessing financial costs of interventions is as important as assessing effectiveness. We reviewed the reporting of costs ... -
When two movements collide: Learning from labour and environmental struggles for future Just Transitions
(Futures, 2022)The term ‘Just Transition’ (JT) emerged from the 1970s North American labour movement to become a campaign for a planned energy transition that includes justice and fairness for workers. There is diversity in the JT ... -
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
(Elsevier, 2018)Spatial planning has to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders wishes and needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or biodiversity. To make ecosystem services (ES) trade-off ... -
Where is the EU headed given its current climate policy? A stakeholder-driven model inter-comparison
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-11-01)Recent calls to do climate policy research with, rather than for, stakeholders have been answered in non-modelling science. Notwithstanding progress in modelling literature, however, very little of the scenario space traces ... -
Which policy option can be more cost-effective in promoting the use of energy efficient appliances in Europe? A comparison of energy taxes, subsidies, tax credits and bans.

Who bears the burden of greening electricity?
(Energy Economics, 2022)Faced with the threat of climate change many countries are promoting renewable energies to decarbonize their energy system. A common policy to foster electricity from renewable energy sources are feed-in tariffs which are ... -
Whole system valuation of arable, agroforestry and tree-only systems at three case study sites in Europe
(Elsevier, 2020)There is an increasing demand to study the long-term effects of land use from both local farm and wider societal and environmental perspectives. This study applied an approach to evaluate both the financial profitability ... -
Whole-tree mesophyll conductance reconciles isotopic and gas-exchange estimates of water-use efficiency
(New Phytologist, 2021-03-01)Photosynthetic water-use efficiency (WUE) describes the link between terrestrial carbon (C) and water cycles. Estimates of intrinsic WUE (iWUE) from gas exchange and C isotopic composition (d13C) differ due to an internal ... -
Whose waters, whose nutrients? Knowledge, uncertainty, and controversy over eutrophication in the Mar Menor
(Ambio, 2023)This work explores the role of knowledge claims and uncertainty in the public dispute over the causes and solutions to nonpoint-driven overfertilization of the Mar Menor lagoon (Spain). Drawing on relational uncertainty ... -
