TECNALIA (www.tecnalia.com) is a private, independent, non-profit foundation of international excellence with more than 25 years´ experience. TECNALIA is the largest centre of applied research and technological development in Spain and a benchmark in Europe. We collaborate with companies and institutions to improve their competitiveness, people's quality of life and achieve sustainable growth. We do it thanks to a team made up of more than 1,500 people (44% women – 56% men) who are passionate about technology and committed to building a better society. 

Our main scopes of action are: Smart Manufacturing Digital Transformation, Energy Transition, Sustainable Mobility, Health and Urban Ecosystem.

Our mission is to transform technological research into prosperity; TECNALIA's research has a real impact on society and generates benefits in the form of quality of life and progress. And we work with the purpose of building a better world through technological research and innovation.
The Climate Change Adaptation Group within the Department of Energy, Climate and Urban Transition, embraces 14 researchers (5 PhD) with a multidisciplinary background from Biologists, Geographers, Spatial Planners, Engineers to Physics and Environmentalists. The group holds a proficient and consistent record of applied research projects. We work with public and private organisations to help cities and territories address environmental, social and economic challenges, using data, technologies and innovation to improve urban planning and management decision making

 

- Impact modelling (to assess heat stress /surface water runoff) and effectiveness assessment of adaptation measures.

 - Automatization of indicators-based spatially explicit vulnerability and risk assessment under climate change scenarios 

- Climate adaptative planning with special focus on the design of flexible adaptation pathways. 

- Nature-based Solutions as climate resilient measures, effectiveness and co-benefits and innovative planning for their implementation. 

- Development of dashboards and climate services for different sectors (i.e. land use, infrastructures, energy, forestry), including development of ad hoc products in the framework of Copernicus Climate Change Service.

 - Mainstreaming climate change perspective into spatial and urban formal planning instruments 

- Climate proofing infrastructures and energy assets
