Ihobe helps to make environmental improvements so that Basque citizens can enjoy a climate-resilient region that is governed by sustainability policies.
The Basque Government’s Public Environmental Management Company provides services and resources so that citizens can be an active part of the solution to the global challenge.
Ihobe has a wide range of tools, viewers and mapping included in the so-called “Climate Change Toolkit”. This content is of undeniable interest both to the academic community and to all those interested in finding out more about the evolution, current state and climate scenarios forecast for the Basque Country.
The equivalent CO2 calculator for citizens shows the greenhouse gas emissions produced by each person in their daily activities and what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint.
The ’52 Tips to Combat Climate Change’ tool helps you to calculate, based on your daily habits, your commitment to fighting climate change.
This tool also includes a practical guide with 52 things you can do to change your habits and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Ihobe manages the Ekoetxea Network, the network of environmental centres in the Basque Country, which aims to change people’s habits by means of experiences, in order to achieve a more sustainable region by promoting the eco-social transformation of Basque citizens.
Ekoetxea develops a broad sustainability education programme designed for schoolchildren of different ages, which offers the chance to enjoy and engage with nature by offering real, hands-on experiences adapted to the school curriculum.
Ihobe promotes citizen participation in the organisation of waste clean-up campaigns in natural environments. Let's Clean Up Euskadi! is the result of the Let's Clean Up Europe! initiative launched by the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR).
Ihobe provides people interested in organising this type of initiative with the "Let's Clean Up Euskadi!" guide as well as dissemination materials to raise awareness of the importance of action on the part of citizens.
Ihobe has developed the Erronka Garbia certification methodology, a procedure that minimises the negative impacts on the environment associated with the holding of events.
Erronka Garbia-Sustainable Event aims to raise awareness among event assistants and organisers of the need to mitigate the negative impacts associated with the development of large-scale events.
