2ND WORKSHOP OF THE LIFE HEATLAND PROJECT
The Region of Murcia is being hit hard by the impact of climate change. With problems of drought and heat waves, the population will suffer more and more frequently from the disasters that this entails. Expert groups have focused on developing projects to help mitigate these effects. On this day we would like to present several of these proposals.
