From 22 to 24 January 2025, the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, in the Community of Madrid, hosted the 13th International Congress of the Spanish Association of Climatology. Climate Change and Society: from Basic Science to Climate Services, in which FUNGOBE was one of the collaborating entities. The congress was organised into talks, round tables and panels, and also included various training workshops on key issues such as the communication of climate change.
The vulnerability index developed in the LIFE RedBosques_Clima project was presented at the conference. This index is a procedure for quantitatively assessing the risk of drought based on a series of indicators that assess climatic exposure to drought, climatic and topographical suitability according to geographical position, and vulnerability based on the attributes of forest structure and composition that provide greater resilience.
