Albert Naya i Díaz

Fascinated by the singularity of our Earth, I have recently travelled out of necessity. Shortly before that I followed a trainee program to become a Science teacher, which has always been my dream. Even before that, I had completed a degree in Environmental Science (2010-14) and previously, I had studied Journalism for four years (2006-10), always at the UAB. All these have helped me to join CREAF as a Communication Technician on the 2nd of Dec 2015.

The results of the study will permit the creation of more precise models for predicting the effects of climatic changes on vegetation.

Achieving the COP21 agreements is currently far-fetched

The COP21 set the maximum temperature increase for 2100 at 1.5° C.
