CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN SANTANDER CAPITAL NATURAL
GARCÍA SÁNCHEZ, FRANCISCO / RIBALAYGUA BATALLA, CECILIA / ASENSIO MARTÍNEZ, LAURA
"The Santander Climate Change Adaptation Plan is a strategic document, based on the scientific analysis of the present and future social, environmental and climate reality of the municipality. The aim is to provide measures to help build its resilience. The document has been prepared by an interdisciplinary team from the Department of Geography, Urban and Regional Planning of the University of Cantabria and the Climate Research Foundation. The study identifies the future risk of the municipality by analysing its exposure to coastal and pluvial floods, as well as the impacts of rising temperatures, future droughts and heatwaves, modelling the region's social, economic and environmental vulnerability to these hazards. This research has led to the development of 51 thematic maps quantifying various levels of hazard, exposure, sensitivity and risk for the different municipality zones. In response to the findings of previous studies, the document lays out a strategic proposal for adaptation and identifies 85 adaptation measures. These are presented in four adaptation goals- Biodiversity; Resilient City; Health; Society and Economy Adapted- with different adaptation objectives for each of them. Their achievement will allow Santander to become a more resilient and less vulnerable city."
