Artikutza, an element for the sustainability of San Sebastian

<p> Arturo Elosegi, Doctor in Biology and Professor of Ecology, highlights the difference between the way Artikutza used to look like 100 years ago and the way it looks today. A hundred years ago, miners, charcoal makers and shepherds used to walk through Artikutza, the river was polluted and the forest was overexploited. The situation in Artikutza has changed considerably. Today Artikutza is one of the best-preserved places in the Basque Country and, in this sense, it emphasises the commitment that San Sebastian City Council made in its day and continues to make.</p>

Gipuzkoa now or forever

<p> Impact of climate change in some unique areas of Gipuzkoa.</p> <p> Our environment has changed a lot since the days of our grandparents… and it has not even been that long. Society makes progress and that implies changes both in lifestyle and in the environment. Today we are more than 7.8 billion people on Earth and we live in a globalized world. The most notable consequence of this is the climate change we are experiencing.</p>

The green areas are not a lawn full of flowers

<p> Rufino Hernández, director of the European Congress on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability EESAP12-CICAS, prefers to speak of waves in the plural instead of focusing on the challenges posed by the wave of rehabilitation in which we are currently. With the money that will come from the European Next Generation, many things will be done, but then there will be an impasse and a new wave will come, because "each generation is different and wants different things." Now we set the goal of climate neutrality for cities for 2050 but as the years go by, new goals will be set, even before that date.</p>
