The main researcher of the project, Dr. Lidia Robaina, participated in the ISLAs Winter School Booklet with a talk entitled “Circular economy on islands, with emphasis on waste management”.
The islands are special cases for Sustainable Development. Methodologically and scientifically, islands are ideal “laboratories” for sustainable landscape management. Islands are unique both in their attractiveness and in their climatic vulnerability, they are relatively isolated and “by themselves” compared to mainland areas, but they are also more dependent on and need to be well connected to other areas rather than mainland areas. This Winter School/Advanced Course aims to combine all these different perspectives, focusing on the island of Gran Canaria.
