Uhinak 2024: VI Cross border symposium on Climate Change and the Coast. Extended abstracts
Uhinak is a biennial cross-border symposium on climate change and the Atlantic Arc coastline promoted by Ficoba and AZTI. The symposium focuses on how climate change and extreme phenomena affect the coastline, focusing on the needs of managers and how the scientific community can contribute to solve them.
The sixth edition of the Uhinak conference, held on 23 and 24 October, focused on the establishment of planetary boundaries and how to anticipate them as two of society’s greatest challenges in tackling the effects of climate change on the seas and coasts. It featured 8 invited papers and 54 oral communications, organized into four blocks: planetary points of no return, adaptation measures to extreme coastal phenomena, the role of marine biodiversity restoration in climate change mitigation and resilience, blue carbon, and innovations in governance, management tools, and communication.
