On May 11th and 12th, the CLIMA Project Workshop, "Climate Change and Public Health: From Climate to Health Inequalities," was held in Palamós.

In addition to presenting the results of the CLIMA project (3 articles published in journals in the first quartiles of the JCR WoS database, 2 articles under review, 8 in development, and 14 presentations at conferences - 13 international and 1 national-), and discussing new lines of research and projects stemming from the project, the Workshop included 5 presentations by project members (Maria A. Barceló and Marc Saez, Marta Solans, Xavier Perafita, Diego Varga, and Jan Trallero), as well as three invited presentations:

Santiago González Muñoz, Deputy Director General of Environmental Health and Occupational Health, Directorate General of Public Health and Health Equity, Ministry of Health, on "The Trajectory of National Temperature Plans."

Cristina Linares. Scientific Researcher · Carlos III Health Institute · Co-Director of the Department of Climate Change, Health and Urban Environment · National School of Public Health, Madrid. 'Improving the spatial effectiveness of public health prevention plans against extreme temperatures. Isoclimatic Regions'.

Julio Díaz. Research Professor · Carlos III Health Institute · Co-Director of the Department of Climate Change, Health and Urban Environment · National School of Public Health, Madrid. 'From heat waves to air pollution: the need for integrated prevention plans'.

In the CLIMA project, for which Maria A. Barceló was the Principal Investigator, the general objectives were: 1) To analyse the geographical variability of excess mortality attributed to the effects of extreme heat during the summer months in Catalonia, particularly those of 2022; 2) To analyse the geographical variability of excess mortality attributed to the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 and other causes in Catalonia, particularly in 2022.

The project, carried out between January 2024 and July 2026, was funded by AGAUR; the Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda; and the Department of Research and Universities; all of the Government of Catalonia.
