After the first round of the process, which took place in March, focused on the participation of local and regional government employees, a proposal was made for the most appropriate measures for each of the identified vulnerability sectors: water, natural environment , Agriculture, orchard and urbanism.
Based on this document, experts now value the appropriateness of these measures, complementing them with their contributions, with the aim that all sectors of society are represented in the future Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change.
ALEM, the Local Agency for Energy and Climate Change, coordinates the celebration of these Work Tables following the Municipal Roadmap for Adaptation, which will conclude in 2018 with the preparation of the Adaptation Plan of the Municipality of Murcia.
This is one of the commitments acquired by the City of Murcia following its accession in 2016 to the European Pact of Mayors for climate and energy.
In June the participatory process will end with a day open to all citizens, who will be able to present their ideas and concerns.

He recalls that "cities are facing significant current and future impacts of climate change, and the road to adaptation is the process of preparation for climate change."
Murcia is doing it.
In this sense, the Emissions Inventory of the Municipality has been presented, which has resulted in a reduction of CO 2 emissions since 2007 of 24.5%, higher than the 20% committed by 2020.
As a preliminary work, in 2016 a study of climate projections was carried out - which provided information on how the climate will be in the future, up to 2100, if no global measures are taken to reduce CO 2 emissions - and a vulnerability analysis - Which assesses the current and future climate impacts in the municipality, as a basis for the development of a good strategy for adaptation to climate change.
