During the workshop, the first Work Plan was signed. The document outlines a series of actions, such as the creation of a joint international laboratory and the transfer of technologies focused on the study of aquatic systems influenced by climate change.
Activities related to environmental and climate education are also planned to promote health, along with professional training courses in global planetary health.
After the signing, Ronaldo presented the main lines of research he is developing at the University of Perpignan. Among the macro-themes are the effects of heat waves and droughts, the introduction of new pathogens and vectors, and the impact of chemical pollution on aquatic environments.
