Café com Ciência with Carla Gonçalves | Online
As part of International Climate Change Day, this edition of Café com Ciência invites you to reflect on the role of the landscape as a space for action and for responding to the challenges of climate change, while learning about the experience of the Póvoa de Varzim Climate Center in bridging the gap between science, public policy, and local action. It will be an opportunity to learn about climate adaptation projects and strategies and to reflect on the importance of an integrated approach to the landscape in building more resilient regions that are better prepared for the challenges of the future.
Carla Gonçalves is a landscape architect with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Porto, a master’s degree in Regional and Urban Planning from the University of Aveiro, and a Ph.D. in Territorial Planning from the University of Porto. She is an Assistant Professor at Fernando Pessoa University and a researcher at CITTA. Her work spans teaching, research, and professional practice in the areas of landscape planning and management, spatial planning, and territorial governance, with a focus on coastal regions. Since 2025, she has served as Executive Director of the Póvoa de Varzim Climate Center, working on climate adaptation and local action.
