In order to complete this report, the existing bibliography on climate change has been analysed, along with information available from studies, analyses, and development plans from various entities of the Basque Authorities. In addition, interviews were held with a series of experts from companies, associations, and research centres that are particularly active in, or sensitive to, this field. The document was compared during two work sessions at Confebask, where more than 30 companies provided their sectoral perspective on the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change, and where lines of collaboration in this area were identified. All of this with the final goal of addressing the future relationship between the competitiveness / energy / CO2 emissions trinomial in terms of the positioning of the Basque industrial landscape.
