Environmental problems (GHG effects, climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, loss of genetic diversity, air pollution, water pollution and others) are the result of human behaviour. (Gardner and Stern 2002). The consequences on the economy, society and health of climate change are one of the
greatest threats that the world faces today, affecting even the survival of the human race (Tonn 2009).
For the Basque Country, the main impacts forecasted for the last third of the century are an increase of temperatures of up to 7º, heavy changes in rainfall patterns and an inland movement of up to 13m in the coastline.
This GHG emission reduction strategy (or mitigation strategy) is addressed to the key decision making authority in the Basque Country It has been made following the five-step approach recommended by Cities for Climate Protection (ICLEI n.d.).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. The Inevitability of Open Access
2. Transformation of Collections
9. The Inevitability of Open Access
Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online,
free of charge, and free of most copyright and
licensing restrictions. OA removes price
barriers (subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-
view fees) and permission barriers (most
copyright and licensing restrictions).

Christensen)

– New business model
– Starts out as an inferior product
– Improves over time and its advantages make
it dominant
– Adoption follows an S-curve not a straight line

16. The Inevitability of Open Access
• Good for libraries because scholarly journals
will not eat up our budget
Between 1975 and 2005 the average cost of journals in chemistry and
physics rose from $76.84 to $1,879.56. In the same period, the cost of a
gallon of unleaded regular gasoline rose from 55 cents to $1.82. If the
gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate as chemistry and
physics journals over this period it would have reached $12.43 in 2005,
and would be over $14.50 today.
17. The Inevitability of Open Access
• Good for scholars because their work will be
available to all who can use it, and their
reputations will be enhanced
• Good for the public because scholarship
won’t be locked up in libraries
18. The Inevitability of Open Access
• Bad for established publishers – I don’t care
• Libraries not part of the delivery system
• Libraries should support OA on the
production side
– Advance in Social Work
– Indiana Libraries
– Umbrella
19. The Inevitability of Open Access
• Policy on author fees – who pays?
• Deposit mandate or not?

29. Openness (from Gideon Burton)
“It comes down to this: the more academia
wishes to enjoy the benefits of the digital
medium, the less it can hold on to restrictive
and closed practices in the
production, vetting, dissemination, and
archiving of information.”

1. Deconstruct legacy print collections
2. Move from item-by-item book selection to
purchase-on-demand and subscriptions
