Governance & Local Development

•Policy support for public administrations, technical assistance in public programs: Diagnosis and policy impact evaluation, policy layout and benchmarking, development of models, entrepreneurship policies.

•Foresight and Strategies: Watch systems, reports identification of trends; foresight studies and strategic planning (short, medium and long term)

•Governance: E-Government, Citizen participation.

•Networks and Collaboration: Cooperation and clustering, Knowledge transfer, best practice dissemination.

The key issues from ecosystem service perspectiveThe key issues from ecosystem service perspective

The green belt provides 3 main ecosystem services:

•Provisioning: nutrition (cultivated crops*),

•Regulation & maintenance ( climate & air quality regulation,

flood protection, habitat and gene pool protection)

•Cultural: educational, scientific & entertainment

The main aim is to link these green spaces by means of a

number of ecological corridors and creating new links through

interventions creating an internal green belt.

One of the main challenges is how integrating this strategy into

the revision of the city’s Master Plan, being able to quantify the

ecosystem services provided by the existing or planned green

infrastructures.

TECNALIA will lead one WP on

stimulating European strategies for urban

transition, where it will ensure the

inclusion of findings from WP City

typologies, climate impact functions and

library for Urban Agglomerations.

TECNALIA will further contribute to WP: How does multi-level institutional

environment shape urban policy decision, influence urban structure evolution and

determine urban adaptation and mitigation capabilities?, where it is responsible

for Task Analysis of the decision-making process, as well as support WP

Taxonomy of Architecture and Infrastructure Indicators.

Key projects

The objective is to design adaptation strategies of human

and natural systems in response to scenarios of climate

change in the Basque Country minimizing its effects and

considering the coming opportunities. The aim of this work is to

reduce the uncertainty of a region in the topics of Climate

Change impacts and extend the knowledge of systems

functions to that allow us the effective design of vulnerability

reduction methodologies.
