Bridging Science and Policy to Mitigate and Adapt Cities to Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities in the Context of the Basque Declaration
Olazabal, Marta; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa (Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2016-05)A reduction in emissions and the adaptation of cities to climate change is a key point in the Basque Declaration-The potential of science making a valuable contribution to urban climate objectives-Possible divergence of ... -
Climate Risk Assessment under Uncertainty: An Application to Main European Coastal Cities
Abadie, Luis María; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, Ibon (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016-12-16)This paper analyses the risk of extreme coastal events in major European coastal cities using a stochastic diffusion model that is calibrated with the worst case emission scenario from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate ... -
Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
Abadie, Luis María; Jackson, L.P.; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Jevrejeva, S.; Galarraga, I. (Elsevier, 2020)The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ... -
Determining discount rates for the evaluation of natural assets in land-use planning: An application of the Equivalency Principle
Markanday, A.; Galarraga, I.; Chiabai, A.; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Lliso, B. (Elsevier, 2019)One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ... -
Environmental and economic impacts of sea-level rise on the Basque Coast
Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa (2016-01-27)... -
How well do climate adaptation policies align with risk-based approaches? An assessment framework for cities
Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, I.; Olazabal, M. (CITIES, 2021)Many cities around the world are undertaking adaptation planning processes in contexts of considerable uncertainty due to climate risks. However, new evidence suggests that current adaptation policies are failing to fully ... -
La importancia del derecho en la lucha contra el cambio climático
O´Neill Tejada, Martin (2022-10-19)[ES] En un contexto de lucha contra el cambio climático el derecho juega un papel importante. Se ha explicado la importancia que tienen los tratados internacionales, las diferentes leyes climáticas y los litigios climáticos ... -
IPCC WGII Fifth Assessment Report (AR5): Expanding the solution space for adaptation
Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Neumann, Marc B.; Markandya, Anil (Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-04-25)The IPCC Report shows increasing confidence of current impacts of anthropogenic climate change, including migration of species in oceans and diminishing crop yields. *Adaptation is widely occurring and has become the central ... -

The Costs of Sea-Level Rise: Coastal Adaptation Investments vs. Inaction in Iberian Coastal Cities
Abadie, Luis María; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga Gallastegui, Ibon (MDPI, 2020-04-24)Iberian coastal cities are subject to significant risks in the next decades due to climate change-induced sea-level rise. These risks are quite uncertain depending on several factors. In this article, we estimate potential ... -
The Oyambre Coastal Terrace: a Detailed Sedimentary Record of the Last Interglacial Stage in Northern Iberia (Cantabrian Coast, Spain)
Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Cunha, Pedro P.; Cearreta Bilbao, Alejandro; Murray, Andrew S.; Buylaert, Jan-Pieter (Wiley, 2021-05-14)A detailed study is presented of a 15.3-m-thick Pleistocene coastal terrace located on the Cantabrian coast (northern Spain). Stratigraphic, sedimentological, topographic and micropalaeontological information is combined ... -
The past, present and future of the sea level in the Basque Country
Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa (Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2016-05)The sea level has significantly changed throughout the Earth's history. -120,000 years ago, during the earlier interglacial period, the sea level was 4.5 m higher than the current mean level in Bilbao. -The sea level rose ... -
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
Setzer, J; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, I.; Rei, F; Pinho, MML (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem.
