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. | |||

| 800 | 1499 | Ajuntament de Barcelona | Europe | Spain | Climate Hazards & Vulnerability | Climate Hazards | 2.2 | Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability. | 3 | Please describe the factor and the degree to which it supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city | 6 | Climate change could cause water, energy and food prices to vary, and no doubt increase, and make access to these basic resources difficult.The main effects of climate change (more heat, less water) will also lead to changes in energy consumption patterns, with less demand for heating forecast while the demand for water and cooling could rise.In addition, given the demographic and socio-economic dynamics in the city, the vulnerable population is expected to increase because there will be more households with dependent children and single-person households, migratory movements will grow and the ageing process will be more evident. All these factors could mean an increase in energy poverty. At present, energy poverty affects 10.6% of Barcelona’s population. |
