ICTA - Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals

El Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología Ambientales de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) es un centro multidisciplinar que promueve la investigación académica y los estudios de posgrado en ciencias ambientales. Su objetivo es mejorar la comprensión del cambio ambiental global y la naturaleza y las causas de los problemas ambientales. Estudia las políticas, estrategias y tecnologías para favorecer la transición a un modelo social y económico sostenible.

El ICTA-UAB aborda los principales retos ambientales y de sostenibilidad relacionados con el cambio global y climático antropogénico. Los investigadores del ICTA-UAB desarrollan investigación avanzada en áreas específicas de la ciencia ambiental a partir de tres áreas generales: “Ciencias de la Tierra y la Vida”, “Ciencias Sociales y Ambientales” y “Tecnología, medio ambiente y sociedad”.

Unidad de Excelencia María de Maeztu El ICTA-UAB es el único centro de investigación en ciencias ambientales distinguido como Unidad de Excelencia por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO) del Gobierno de España, el más destacado reconocimiento en investigación científica en España.

Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals
This paper examines extractivist impacts and local resistance in Myanmar from an epistemic and emotional perspective. It explores how these projects erode communities' capacities to know, perceive, and feel their environments, producing not only material destruction but also affective and epistemic dispossession. [...]

51 p, 1.3 MB A broader landscape of post-growth pathways : review of sustainability scenarios integrating biophysical limits, sufficiency, equity and structural change / Pérez-Sánchez, Laura (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Slameršak, Aljoša (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Most existing climate mitigation scenarios integrate the notions of continued economic growth and material abundance. They can purportedly be sustained with cleaner and more efficient production, greater material circularity, and carbon sequestration, whose technological feasibility and effectiveness are fiercely debated at such scales. [...]

10 p, 2.7 MB Digital pathways to environmental stewardship / Ortiz Naumann, Alba (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Chapman, Mollie (ETH Zürich. Department of Environmental Systems Science) ; Langemeyer, Johannes (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciències de la Computació)
Digitalization is transforming the ways people experience nature and is often blamed for a decline in environmental values and stewardship action. Yet, there is little understanding of how social media content facilitates indirect nature experiences and influences notions of care for nature. [...]

16 p, 2.1 MB Projected climate change impacts on the inflow of a Southeastern Brazilian hydropower reservoir / Drummond Marques da Silva, Nathalia (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Instituto de Geociências) ; Macedo, Diego Rodrigues (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Instituto de Geociências. Departamento de Geografia) ; Santos de Lima, Letícia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Bressiani, Danielle (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica. Divisão de Engenharia Civil (Brazil))
Hydrological assessments of climate change effects remain scarce for Brazilian basins regulated by large reservoirs, despite their strategic role in national energy security. The present study evaluates how projected climate change may alter inflow regimes to the Nova Ponte reservoir basin in Southeastern Brazil, over short- (2019-2040) and medium-term (2041-2060) horizons.

Reparations are a global health imperative. Centuries of genocide, enslavement, extractivism, colonisation, racism, casteism, patriarchy and related forms of violence have produced durable, preventable inequities in morbidity and mortality that cannot be remedied through aid and development alone.
