8. Confidencial © 2011 TECNALIA 8 Key projects OPENESS. “Operationalisation of Natural Capital and EcoSystem Services: From Concepts to Real-world Applications”, FP7. Case study: Urban planning and green infrastructures in Vitoria-Gasteiz UHI The key issues from ecosystem service perspective The green belt provides 3 main ecosystem services: Provisioning: nutrition (cultivated crops*), Regulation & maintenance ( climate & air quality regulation, flood protection, habitat and gene pool protection) Cultural: educational, scientific & entertainment The main aim is to link these green spaces by means of a number of ecological corridors and creating new links through interventions creating an internal green belt. One of the main challenges is how integrating this strategy into the revision of the city’s Master Plan, being able to quantify the ecosystem services provided by the existing or planned green infrastructures. * The Green Belt is surrounded by a ring of about 11,000 ha agricultural

9. Confidencial © 2011 TECNALIA 9 Key projects RAMSES. “Reconciling Adaptation, Mitigation and Sustainable Development for Cities”, FP7. TECNALIA will lead one WP on stimulating European strategies for urban transition, where it will ensure the inclusion of findings from WP City typologies, climate impact functions and library for Urban Agglomerations. TECNALIA will further contribute to WP: How does multi-level institutional environment shape urban policy decision, influence urban structure evolution and determine urban adaptation and mitigation capabilities?, where it is responsible for Task Analysis of the decision-making process, as well as support WP Taxonomy of Architecture and Infrastructure Indicators.

10. Confidencial © 2011 TECNALIA 10 Key projects The objective is to design adaptation strategies of human and natural systems in response to scenarios of climate change in the Basque Country minimizing its effects and considering the coming opportunities. The aim of this work is to reduce the uncertainty of a region in the topics of Climate Change impacts and extend the knowledge of systems functions to that allow us the effective design of vulnerability reduction methodologies.
