ENT is strengthening its climate change area to meet the growing need among public authorities, companies and organisations for rigorous studies, strategies and tools to address the challenges of mitigation and adaptation.
This area of work builds on a well-established track record at local, national and European levels. In recent years, ENT has participated in European projects such as SCORE, focused on the climate resilience of coastal cities; NATURVATION, on urban innovation and nature-based solutions; OptForEU, aimed at low-carbon and climate-resilient forest management; and WOODCIRCLES, dedicated to circularity and carbon capture in the construction and building sectors.
Added to this experience is participation in the BEAVER project, which works on the connection between climate adaptation and civil protection in terms of improving prevention and response to extreme events, with the aim of strengthening the resilience of local communities.
ENT’s track record is also reflected in its sustained scientific output. The team has published several articles in scientific journals on ecosystem-based adaptation, flood risk management, the protection and restoration of coastal environments, social perceptions of climate risks, and the economic assessment of adaptation measures.
This combination of scientific research, participation in international projects and knowledge of public policy enables ENT to turn available evidence into practical proposals tailored to the needs of each territory and organisation.
Among the services that ENT offers is the study of socioeconomic effects and mitigation and adaptation strategies associated with climate change, including nature-based solutions; support for the development of climate change adaptation plans and strategies; the calculation of carbon savings and gas emissions with the winter effect; the designing economic and fiscal instruments to promote decarbonization, energy efficiency and renewable energies; the incorporation of climate criteria in planning and public contracting; between others.
By strengthening this area, ENT is placing its expertise at the service of public authorities, companies and organisations seeking to develop studies, research, strategies or actions related to climate change.
