Resum

The world is currently facing a climate crisis that disproportionately impacts at-risk populations. This leads to an increase in poverty levels and, consequently, it affects the economic and social development of societies. Despite numerous public policy efforts, scientific evidence suggests that progress has been insufficient. Developing climate change adaptation policies that align with social protection systems and incorporating climate risks in social programs emerges a long-term intersectoral approach to address the impacts caused by climate change, and thus, building just and sustainable societies. Through a regulatory review methodology, this study analyzes whether there is coherence between climate change adaptation policies and social protection in Catalonia with the aim of safeguarding human health. Even though Catalonia has made considerable efforts in linking climate change and health policies in recent years, the findings of this paper indicates that the integration of social protection in climate adaptation policies could be further strengthen.
