Populations of mosquitoes, cockroaches, monk parakeets and rodents (mice and rats) are on the increase and, as a result, the risk of transmission of the diseases they carry increases, which could lead to public health issues. In order to combat these pests and infestations research into techniques for fighting them, whilst also reducing the use of pesticides, will need to be intensified.

This is determined by three factors: the rise in sea level that causes a permanent flood; the tide and pressure and wind changes that generate a potential flood; and finally the effect of waves, which cause extreme flooding. Waves are currently responsible for causing major problems along the Barcelona coastline during extreme storm conditions. Climate projections show that there will be a general rise in sea level as a result of melting polar ice caps and heat expansions, and this increase will bring changes depending on the region. In addition, extreme events are predicted to be more frequent, although their magnitude will not change much. In the case of Barcelona, which previously was associated with return periods of 50 years, periods of 35 years are forecast by 2050. Regarding the Barcelona coastline, althoughthere are still not many studies that analyse the specific effect of climate change on the coastal dynamics of the area, approximations have been carried out that show that there is likely to be a triple impact on the coast as a result of climate change: an increase in flooding, morphological changes to the beaches and greater exposure of port infrastructures.

All these factors could mean an increase in energy poverty. At present, energy poverty affects 10.6% of Barcelona’s population.
