Impact of climate change in some unique areas of Gipuzkoa.

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> 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>

<p> Andreu Escrivá author of the book "¿Y ahora yo qué hago? Como evitar la culpa climática y pasar a la acción" commented that in reality, the title should read "And what do we do now?"&nbsp; because climate change is a collective problem and the solutions have to be collective.&nbsp; We cannot be in individualistic approaches where "I have my little ecological plot. This is what suits capitalism and the companies that can sell us packs of climate solutions for our lives.&nbsp; We will buy them and think we are good green citizens instead of betting on the structural changes we need.
