The BC3 is an excellence research centre created in 2008 as jointly promoted by the
Basque government and the Basque University, with the goal of contributing to
knowledge on the causes and impacts of climate change, as well as drive advancements
in high level research on these issues. Under the leadership of Professor Anil
Markandya, BC3 seeks to contribute to solve this great challenge from the Basque
Country, summing up efforts with other centres in the world, collaborating towards this
ambitious goal. BC3’s research project revolves around four main lines of research:
analysis of the adaptation measures to the climate change impacts, research on policies
for the mitigation of GHGs emissions, grasping the international dimensions of climate
policies and support of the research to complement and inform climate policy making in
the Basque Country.
