The Thematic Line of Integrated Environmental Systems aims to contribute to the development of innovative products, services, models, and processes that can benefit the environment by reducing pressures on natural resources and emissions. Despite current progress towards increased environmental resilience to systematic risks and changes, there are still challenges and opportunities for eco-friendly resilience. In this regard, the research strategy of this thematic line contributes to the transition towards a sustainable society and is structured around two priorities: risk assessment and adaptation to climate change; resource efficiency and transition to a circular and low-carbon economy.
