Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (BCNUEJ)

El Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (BCNUEJ) va ser creat conjuntament entre l’Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA) de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) i un grup de recerca de l’Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques (IMIM). El BCNUEJ desenvolupa recerca innovadora basada en estudis de política i planificació urbana, desigualtat social i desenvolupament. L’objectiu principal és estudiar les oportunitats i els reptes creats per iniciatives urbanes municipals, de grups locals o privades, que augmenten la sostenibilitat, equitat i salut a les ciutats.

La nostra recerca examina processos i dinàmiques que condueixen a la creació de ciutats més justes, resilients, sanes i sostenibles, reunint teoria i mètodes de planificació urbana, política pública, sociologia urbana i mediambiental, geografia urbana i salut pública. Els nostres estudis analitzen fins a quin punt plans urbanístics i decisions polítiques contribueixen a la creació de ciutats més justes, resilients, sanes i sostenibles, i com associacions locals en barris deprimits disputen l'existència, creació, o agreujament d'injustícies mediambientals arran de processos i polítiques de (re)vitalització.

Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience) ; García-Lamarca, Melissa (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
We are currently experiencing a manifold crisis of social reproduction which has seriously affected the capacity of popular access to basic goods such as housing, particularly in urban environments. This article seeks to contribute to and expand debates around the urban housing commons by looking at decommodified and collectively managed housing alternatives through the lens of the reproductive commons.

17 p, 5.5 MB From greening the climate-adaptive city to green climate gentrification? Civic perceptions of short-lived benefits and exclusionary protection in Boston, Philadelphia, Amsterdam and Barcelona / Planas-Carbonell, Aina (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Anguelovski, Isabelle (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Municipal governments are increasingly promoting green climate-adaptive infrastructure projects to address climate threats and impacts while maximizing multiple socio-environmental benefits. Although these strategies are repeatedly advanced as "win-win" solutions for all, recent literature has drawn attention to numerous negative effects, especially the displacement and exclusion of vulnerable social groups, pointing at yet another layer of climate injustice.

Background: Evidence on validation of surrogates applied to evaluate the personal exposure levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in epidemiological studies is scarce. Objectives: To determine and compare the validity of three approaches, including (i) ambient UVR levels, (ii) time spent outdoors and (iii) a modelling approach integrating the aforementioned parameters, to estimate personal UVR exposure over a period of 6 months among indoor and outdoor workers and in different seasons (summer/winter).
