''La región mediterránea se ha identificado como una de las áreas más vulnerables al cambio climático.''

Ps. 7, 10, 18,19

''de la situación de la salud que se ve alterada por el cambio climático en nuestro país, evaluando escenarios y modelos, para de esta forma ayudar a la toma de decisiones, priorizar problemas y proponer acciones de adaptación y mitigación.''

Ps. 7, 10, 18,19

''Las personas mayores y los niños muy pequeños son más sensibles a estos cambios de temperatura. Los primeros tienen reducida la sensación de calor y por lo tanto la capacidad de protegerse, existiendo un paralelismo entre la disminución de la percepción de sed y la percepción del calor, especialmente cuando sufren enfermedades neurodegenerativas.''

Ps. 7, 10, 18,19

The Mediterranean region has been identified as one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change.''

Ps. 7, 10, 18,19

...of the health situation that is altered by climate change in our country, evaluating scenarios and models, in order to help decision-making, prioritize problems and propose adaptation and mitigation actions.''

Ps. 7, 10, 18,19

Older people and very young children are more sensitive to these changes in temperature. The former have a reduced sensation of heat and therefore their ability to protect themselves, there being a parallelism between the decrease in the perception of thirst and the perception of heat, especially when they suffer from neurodegenerative diseases.''

Ps. 7, 10, 18,19
