Climate change is testing cities' ability to guarantee essential services and protect their citizens. Extreme weather events—droughts, floods, and heat waves—highlight the vulnerability of many urban centers and the need for adapted infrastructure to ensure their economic and social development in an increasingly uncertain world.
With this challenge on the table, Facsa He has participated these days in the III City and Services Forum, held in Seville, where the impact of climate change on urban infrastructures and the need to transform them to face the new risks have been analyzed.
This meeting, considered one of the country's most important forums for discussing the management and resilience of public services, brought together more than 200 professionals from government agencies, businesses, and organizations in the sector. Over two intensive days, participants shared experiences, best practices, and strategies to strengthen their capacity to respond to health, environmental, and technological crises that test the efficiency and continuity of essential services.
In this context, Jose Claramonte, general manager of Facsa, has analyzed the consequences of extreme weather events on water resources, based on the conclusions of the latest study prepared by the company, which quantifies its effects and warns about the need to accelerate adaptation measures.
Planning and adaptation were also central themes in Claramonte's presentation, in which she emphasized the need to integrate resilience and sustainability into all phases of the infrastructure lifecycle—from design to operation—as well as to promote digitalization and intelligent network monitoring to anticipate potential incidents and optimize resource management. She also highlighted the role of public-private partnerships as a driving force for developing innovative solutions that enable public services to maintain their operational capacity even in adverse scenarios.
Facsa's contribution to this forum reflects its active role in the search for new, more efficient and sustainable water management models, as well as its commitment to continuous improvement and preparing urban systems for the climate challenges that will shape the immediate future.
