Lur Geroa usually draws up forest management plans for the municipalities of Navarre, where most of the mountains and forests are public, and where the municipalities of Navarre own about 80% of the forests. According to Navarre regulations, the Foral Government is responsible for financing forest management plans, but the municipalities have to approve them and many require citizen participation. 

The consultancy proposes, among other things, how these forests can be exploited in a sustainable manner, that is, how much wood can be extracted from each forest in 10 or 15 years, without the loss of volume of forests. In addition, municipalities are obliged to invest 20% of the money they receive from their exploitation (sale of timber or leasing of land) in the mountain. It also advises how to make these investments.

Néstor Etxebarria, professor and researcher at the UPV-EHU Department of Analytical Chemistry, considers the recommendations that have been made to stay in enclosed spaces and keep doors and windows closed to be "appropriate".

Reminiscent of the workers Alberto Sololuze and Joaquin Beltrán, the citizens' platform has held an event like every year in the Eitzaga neighbourhood, where they have explained that they are "annoyed" because the court has been investigating environmental crimes for 72 months. "Let everything be clarified," they have claimed. They have also denounced that part of the landfill is "unprotected" and that its waste is "falling directly into the river."

They've been researching mycelium at the Basque Biodesing Center in Güeñes for years. Anddos material, waterproof and biodegradable, which in the future could replace plastic or cardboard for packaging.

The slowdown in demand for electric cars, pressure from the sector and competition from China have led the European Commission to take the decision: it will authorise 'limited' combustion car production from 2035. 

In the worst-case scenario, sea levels could rise by 0.72 metres by 2100, which will directly affect 32% of the Basque population (more than 700,000 people) of the river valleys on the coast or near the mouth, and the Basque Government has therefore initially approved the Territorial Sectoral Plan for the Protection and Management of the Coast (PTS).

Organized by the BBK, it will bring together tradition, solidarity and sustainability and is expected to bring together about 100,000 people, from 09:00 to 20:00. This year 4,500 rations of beans will be distributed from the Bizkaia Cooking Meeting Foundation (Bisubi).

The new project envisages installing four 110 metres high and 7.8 MW of unit power windmills (previously 7), as well as an anemometric tower of 99.5 metres. Although generators would be installed in Amurrio, the evacuation line would also affect the municipality of Ayala. With these changes the total power would rise to 31.2 MW and the investment would fall to 24.8 million.
