'Eco-efficient adaptation in environmental evaluation' is a program with which the UCAM takes a step in the fight against climate change, which aims to facilitate, through training and tools, environmental assessment processes with natural measures and circular economy .
The San Antonio Catholic University, through the Technological Institute of Murcia has launched 'Eco-efficient adaptation in environmental assessment', a project that has the support of the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition, with which it takes a new impulse UCAM SUSTAINABLE, the environmental program of the Catholic University, inspired by the invitation of Pope Francis in his Encyclical Laudato Sì, for the Care of the Common House.
In this project, which has just been presented by the UCAM, it has been detected that there is ignorance about the requirements established by the environmental law, by some professional sectors, which are obliged to submit their plans and programs to an environmental assessment.
These are large infrastructure projects, urban planning, industry, agriculture or livestock that must mitigate the negative effects that their activity generates on the environment.
'Eco-efficient adaptation in environmental evaluation' aims to overcome this lack of knowledge by improving the training of professionals through technical seminars, writing guides, training activities such as courses or lectures and disseminating this information through a traveling exhibition or workshops.
The project is in its initial phase, analyzing the situation, and yesterday it was presented to the university community and involved sectors Francisco Victoria Jumilla, head of the Service for the Promotion of the Environment and Climate Change of the Autonomous Community of Murcia and collaborator of the UCAM "climate change is unstoppable, although we reduce emissions to zero, so adaptation is essential".
The presentation of the project was in charge of César Nicolás, executive director of the ITM who said that "a University like the UCAM, Humanist and Christian has an environmental commitment that renews every day with the UCAM Sustainable program that carries out initiatives such as' zero paper 'or the impulse of the use of bicycles and that now launches, through the ITM, a project that fundamentally aims to train and disseminate tools that facilitate the fight against climate change ".
Pedro de los Santos Jiménez, director of the Degree in Civil Engineering at the UCAM, also collaborates in this project, "we will intervene in the high-level debates, through the four lines of research related to this subject that we are developing in the Degree in Civil Engineering, Water and Environment, Water Resources, Heritage Protection and Transport and Mobility ".
