Adapting to Climate Change

Gonzalo analyzes the geopolitical and geoeconomic implications of the energy transition necessary for the decarbonization of the economy in the fight against climate change.
Economics of Architecture: Moving Towards More Sustainable Cities

Does Meeting ESG Objectives Improve Life on the Planet? The Connection between Corporate and Global Sustainability
From an analytical perspective, Gonzalo examines the connections between sustainability (and global commitments around the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) and their corporate translation (ESG), sometimes limiting and limited.
The Governance of Natural Resources
The concept of governance or good governance tends to be presented in a somewhat limited context, referring essentially to transparency, accountability, citizen participation, and integrity. Despite recognizing the critical value of these factors, Gonzalo goes further by showing that good governance requires overcoming sectoral biases, redesigning incentives, and advancing in innovation in a broad sense.
Sustainability – The Need for New Narratives
Gonzalo emphasizes the need for narratives about sustainability that escape apocalyptic approaches and value judgments, that do not fall into a new dogmatism (a new religion), but rather into rational criteria that also pay attention to the intimate perceptions of citizens.
