Conflicts of interest: My research has been funded primarily by public bodies (Government of Spain, Government of Galicia, Universidade de Vigo and the University of Oxford). I have conducted reports and training on risks, impact and adaptation to climate change for companies like Royal Bank of Scotland or Inditex. Likewise, I have also obtained financing from companies such as Naturgy and Acciona to study the impact of climate change on renewable energies. Others like the Gulbenkian Foundation, Google or Microsoft have supported my research with small grants and calculation resources through competitive calls.
None of the entities or organizations that have financed or financed my scientific work have influenced the independence of my opinions and the research results that respond to empirical evidence and are objective.
