More info on: Gobierno de España
Date: May 20, 2021
Location: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid
At an event held at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Sánchez announced the first step in this project: the study "Fundamentos e propostas para unha estratexia nacional a longo prazo" ("Principles and proposals for a long term national strategy), which was drawn up by a hundred researchers of recognised prestige and from various academic disciplines. The coordination was carried out by the National Foresight and Strategy Office and supported by organisations such as AIReF, the Bank of Spain and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
According to the head of the Executive, this study "puts all its knowledge at the disposition of Spanish society to help it broaden its horizons and design a better strategy for the long term". To this end, it offers us "a rigorous and holistic diagnosis of the challenges that Spain will face, not only today, but also in the medium and long term, analysing the possible risks and also the opportunities that could be generated by megatrends such as climate change, demographic change or the digital transformation" and, on the other hand, "shows us our potential as a country".
The presentation ceremony was attended by the President, Pedro Sánchez; the Vice-President of the European Commission for Institutional Relations and Foresight, Maroš Šefčovič of Slovakia; the Director of the National Office of Foresight and Strategy, Diego Rubio; the professor and co-author of the study, María Loureiro; and two representatives of civil society, Marta Borrell, a secondary school student, and María José Jiménez, a retired person who works as a volunteer in various social projects.

Media Coverage
Madrid (EuroEFE).- El lavado verde o «greenwashing» de muchas empresas que se anuncian como sostenibles cuando no lo son es un «problema muy grave», en el cual «el regulador tiene que entrar de forma muy seria, muy estricta para mandar un mensaje claro a los consumidores», ha asegurado a EFE la economista ambiental María Loureiro García.
The valuation of the environmental damages caused by the Prestige was carried out by María Loureiro in collaboration with the prosecutor's office and defended in the trial for the damages caused by the Prestige in the Provincial Court of A Coruña on May 20th, 2013.
This was the first time in Spain, where a court admitted as a proof a report on damages to natural resources valued using techniques from environmental economics.

«Que teñamos auga fainos moi fortes no contexto do cambio climático»
www.lavozdegalicia.com - 05.12.2019
A investigadora da USC, María Loureiro, di que Galicia é un bo exemplo de bioeconomía. Asegura que a nosa comunidade ten moito que gañar porque se a temperatura sube dous graos, non haberá moitos lugares con tanta auga dispoñible. Por iso, Loureiro urxe a tomar medidas de mitigación e adaptación para ter unha posición de vantaxe no futuro. Aposta pola educación e a solidariedade, pero advirte que se o mundo non é quen de facer unha transición ecolóxica, o cambio de modelo virá pola forza, pagando por contaminar

As perdas pola vaga de incendios de 2017, máis do que se pensaba: 156 millóns de euros só en Pontevedra
www.galiciaconfidencial.com - 11.10.2018
Economistas presentan as súas estimacións, conservadoras, sobre o impacto económico dos lumes en Pontevedra a mediados de outubro do pasado ano. A cifra de perdas para esta provincia xa supera en 6 millóns os cálculos que fixo Abanca para toda Galicia e representa o 78% do custo que calculou o profesor da Universidade de Santiago Agustín Merino para todo o país, que cifrou nuns 200 millóns. Ante estes datos, as axudas das administracións semellan insuficientes.
