OPENING KEYNOTE LECTURE
The only possible scenario for achieving the Paris commitment to keep the temperature of the planet between 1.5-2°C above pre-industrial values by the end of the century is to combine drastic emission reductions with the capture of greenhouse gases, through "negative emission technologies". We will analyse what these challenges are, both from a scientific and a governance point of view, including their potential and risks.

Institute of Oceanography and Global Change. University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
SESSION I
Climate emergency: our coast in 2050
GUEST SPEAKER
The Basque coast is exposed to energetic open ocean swells from the North Atlantic. Due to the irregular underwater rock formations, the wave processes are highly subject to the local bathymetry. We have utilized the phase-resolving numerical model BOSZ, developed within the E2S chair HPC-Waves at UPPA, to compute a variety of typical wave scenarios along the Basque coast. We will explain the numerical background of the model and highlight its applicability to study nearshore wave processes. The results along the Basque Coast exhibit strong local refraction patterns nearshore, which lead to a significant variation of wave energy along the coast. Infra-gravity wave processes often dominate the wave runup and show substantial energy levels even in long-period bands over 5 min.

GUEST SPEAKER
The paper analyses the impact of the sea level rise due to climate change on different CPR 4.5 and 8.5 hypotheses in the year 2045 and 2100 from the point of view of the territorial organisation of the Basque Country's coastline both due to the high tides themselves and to the impact of sea storms, river floods and storms of short duration but high intensity. All these impacts are reflected both in the urban environment and in the green network (beaches, marshes and dunes).

GUEST SPEAKER
Climate change monitoring and surveying, and in particular the evolution of sea level rising and coastal wave climate and coastal hazards, as well as to promote adaptation actions are priority objectives of the Gipuzkoa Climate Change Strategy (Klima-2050). The Gipuzkoa Coastal Observing and Monitoring System aims to strengthen and support the Strategy through the dissemination of data and advanced knowledge of the local and regional coastal system and how they advance in the context of global climate change.

Day two
The term "Blue Carbon" was introduced as a metaphor to highlight that coastal ecosystems, in addition to terrestrial forests (named green carbon), contribute significantly to organic carbon (C) sequestration.
María José Sanz
BC3 Basque Centre for Climate Change
GUEST SPEAKER
The aim of the project is to provide information and tools to organizations responsible for the planning and management of coastal areas in relation to Climate Change (CC). The work is articulated on the necessary information for the evaluation of the Vulnerability and the Risk; the construction of an integrative Geographic Information System that is a tool for the dissemination of the conclusions and it is also decision-making oriented; the Draft of the plans of adaptation to CC in the Terrestrial Maritime Public Domain areas belonging to the Basque Country and, finally, to elaborate orientations for the adaptation by increasing the resilience of the coast to face the CC (goods, services, environmental, socioeconomic, cultural values, etc.).

SESSION III
Blue carbon and climate change mitigation
GUEST SPEAKER
Seagrass meadows are intense natural carbon sinks wile providing other key ecosystem services such are coastal protection, food provision and seawater quality. Distributed globally, seagrasses rank amongst the most threatened ecosystems in the biosphere. The loss of seagrass vegetation not only involve the loss of carbon sequestration capacity, it puts at risk of erosion carbon stored over millennia in the sediment that may result in CO2 emissions. Conservation and restoration of seagrass meadows are recognised as an effective strategy for climate change (CC) mitigation. Interventions through Blue Carbon strategies would provide additional benefits (CC adaptation) beyond CC mitigation.

GUEST SPEAKER
The UrbanKlima 2050 project for the deployment of the Basque Climate Change Strategy (KLIMA 2050) has been approved by the European Union within the Integrated Projects Area for mitigation of and/or adaptation to climate change. It has a budget of almost €20 million (52% funded by the EU) and is to last over 5 years. It is led by the Department of the Environment, Territorial Planning and Housing via its publicly run environmental management company Ihobe. The consortium also includes around 20 other institutions and entities from all over the Basque Country (the Basque Government, the 3 provincial councils, 7 municipal councils, including those of the provincial capitals, URA, EVE, 5 technology centres and Naturklima).

GUEST SPEAKER
If the 1954 storm and associated floods are often identified as a turning point in flood risk management doctrine in Holland, what about the changes in France following Storm Xynthia? To answer this question, we conducted a two-stage analysis. First, we compiled, categorized and analysed all the recommendations and other "lessons learned" that were made public following Storm Xynthia. Secondly, we analysed local risk management plans and strategies and conducted a series of semi-structured interviews in Charente Maritime to identify current flood risk mitigation practices. We analysed these interviews according to the recommendations identified. These analyses allow us to have an outcome of the past ten years and to identify both the acceleration effects due to storm Xynthia, the hinge effects, as well as the lock-in effects related to the history of flood risk management in Charente, and the challenges of optimisation under budgetary constraints.

Of particular note is the change in the town planning model, expressed mainly through its General Planning; the forestry model, through the Public Forest Management Plan and extensive reforestation carried out in parallel with its writing; or mobility, through the Mobility Plan.
The work carried out includes the coordination of the process of redefining river dynamics and flooding problems through the recovery of their natural processes. Amongst these, the coordination of the creation of an inland marsh and floodable forest in Bakio, integrated in the LIFE IP URBAN KLIMA 2050, stands out.
