The conclusions of the study “Impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change of Mediterranean beekeeping” were presented today, with the support of the Ministry’s Biodiversity Foundation, coordinator of the project. The results of this study have been presented by the researcher from the University of Vic and the Centre for Research in Agri-Food Economics and Development (CREDA-UPC-IRTA), Feliu L\u00f3pez i Gelats. <\/p>\n
Within the framework of the European LIFE SHARA project “Awareness and knowledge for adaptation to climate change”, the objective of one of its actions is to achieve an adequate and improved treatment of the information related to adaptation to climate change reflected and generated by the media. To achieve this objective, various information days will be held in which different aspects related to adaptation to climate change in Spain will be discussed in a monographic way. <\/p>\n
Ulargui stressed that “the LIFE SHARA project seeks to strengthen technical capacities and improve coordination to transmit studies on adaptation. Its actions are aimed at very diverse groups to ensure that the information received is the best possible to inspire public policies on adaptation and prepare us for the impacts of climate change in a country like Spain, which has been a pioneer in climate change adaptation policies”.<\/p>\n
LIFE SHARA “Awareness and knowledge for adaptation to climate change” is a project coordinated by the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment, and has the support of the Spanish Office for Climate Change, the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the Autonomous Agency of National Parks, through the National Center for Environmental Education (CENEAM), and the Portuguese Agency for the Environment.<\/p>\n
