The Technical Seminars 'Climate Change for plans and projects with natural, eco-efficient and circular economy solutions' aim to provide tools with which to integrate the reduction of emissions in urban, livestock or agricultural plans and projects, among others.

In Spain, 60% of emissions come from industrial, urban, or work activities such as agriculture, livestock or trade.

Activities that must go through an authorization procedure called environmental assessment.

Therefore, the Technological Institute of Murcia (ITM) of the UCAM, with the support of the Ministry for Ecological Transition, through the Biodiversity Foundation, has launched the program 'Eco-efficient adaptation in environmental assessment' with the aim of facilitate these processes through tools and methodologies that allow introducing at an early stage, such as the drafting of the project, measures with which to reduce emissions and meet the requirements of the European Union.

For the Head of the Service for the Promotion of the Environment and Climate Change, Francisco Victoria who is an associate professor of the UCAM and principal investigator of this project, in addition to the objective of reducing emissions, plans and projects must adapt to the impacts of climate change " In the Mediterranean area, we must pay special attention to adaptation, which is why urban planning must include measures that allow the urban space to be green and thus fight against the heat island effect, or contemplate the collection of rainwater ".

The tools proposed in these seminars are the calculation of the carbon footprint and the compensation of emissions, viewers to know the rise in sea level, or the soil, considered as a non-renewable natural resource and its important role as a carbon sink.

The Technological Institute of Murcia, which organizes these seminars, already works in the management of courses to deepen the use of these tools, the executive director of the ITM, César Nicolás says that "we intend to consolidate this knowledge among professionals and students to through several face-to-face courses that will take place at the end of April and beginning of May.
