The University of Girona, the University of Venice and the Landscape Observatory of Catalonia, helped by the Olot's Fundació d'Estudis Superiors, jointly organized between July 8 and 21 the international seminar "Landscape and climate change". The event is a part of the European Masters Course in Planning and policies for the City, Environment and Landscape, offered by the UdG, the IUAV University of Venice (Italy), the University of Sassari (Sardinia), the University of Ghent (Belgium), the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal).

The seminar was aimed at fostering specific proposals for the mitigation and adaptation to climate change in different landscape areas (river banks, coastal landscape, energy-related landscape, evolution of agriculture and forest landscape and urban landscapes) of the landscape units of the Empordà plains and the Olot valleys, included in the Landscape Catalogue of the Comarques Gironines.
