“…El calor puede llevar, entre otros efectos, a alteraciones y privaciones de éste debidos a la puesta en marcha de los procesos de termorregulación (Buguet, 2007). Concretamente, las temperaturas superiores a las del confort pueden influir en el aumento del desvelo y en la disminución de las fases REM (Rapid Eye Movement) y SWS (Slow-wave Sleep) (Haskella et al, 1981;Okamoto y Mizuno 2005.…”

Editorial An important health impact from climate change will be its influence on mental health of the affected populations. Indeed, more frequent and more intense extreme-weather events would trigger migration processes that could lead to loss of livelihoods and create tensions, with major psychosocial consequences. This issue is discussed in the seventh article. Maldives is one of the most vulnerable countries of our Region: it is threatened by sealevel rise and by the loss of drinking water reserves and food sources. The last article in this Special Issue presents the views of the Ministry of Health, Maldives on how the country is getting ready to address these major challenges.Regional Health Forum -Volume 12, Number 1, 2008 AbstractThis paper summarizes some of the main findings arising from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) related to the protection of human health in a changing climate. The paper first discusses observed and projected changes in climate and their likely impacts on human health with the focus on South and South-East Asia, followed by a summary of key issues for adaptation, including field experiences of conducting climate-related health research. It also gives a brief overview of options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; adaptation and mitigation measures to protect human health from climate change; and linkages of these measures with broader sustainable development objectives. IntroductionThe IPCC carries out regular assessments of the scientific knowledge of the causes, observations and projections of climate change and its likely impacts, and of options to adapt to those changes and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) was completed in 2007 and represents the most comprehensive report of current knowledge.The findings from the AR4 are of particular relevance to public health researchers and policy-makers as they represent increased knowledge about the potential impacts of climate change on human health, as well as improved understanding of the broader linkages between climate change and development issues. References in this article exclusively point to specific chapters and summaries from the IPCC AR4; additional primary literature references may be found in relevant chapters of the cited IPCC reports. 1 Observed changes in climate, their causes and effectsThe recent IPCC assessment (IPCC, 2007) concludes that evidence on warming of the climate system is unequivocal. This strong finding is based on multiple strands of evidence such as increases in global average surface temperature (about 0.74 °C over the past 100 years), rising global average sea level from thermal expansion of the oceans and melting of ice and snow, and concurrent decreases in the Northern Hemisphere snow cover. These observations are summarized in 1 The entire IPCC AR4 is available on the Internet at www.ipcc.ch.

RESUMENEn este trabajo se aplica un nuevo enfoque al estudio de las noches calurosas, también denominadas "tropicales", en el litoral mediterráneo de España de cara a identificar aquellas noches en las que la población pueda verse afectada por estrés térmico. La utilización de un indicador obtenido a través de datos semihorarios ha permitido definir con más detalle las características térmicas de las noches veraniegas, pudiendo así evaluar con más precisión el riesgo para el bienestar y la salud de la población. Se produce un importante aumento de la frecuencia de noches tropicales y noches cálidas en el litoral mediterráneo, desde Cataluña hasta el sur de Andalucía. La menor latitud y la proximidad a la costa están relacionadas con la mayor persistencia del calor y del estrés térmico durante estas noches. En áreas de interior la persistencia es menor.Palabras clave: noches tropicales, noches cálidas, Mediterráneo, España, salud humana. ABSTRACTThis paper presents a new methodology for the study of hot nights, also called "tropical nights", across the Mediterranean coast of Spain in order to identify those nights where people can be affected by heat stress. The use of one indicator obtained through half-hourly data has allowed to define in more detail the thermal characteristics of the nights, thereby being able to assess more accurately the risk to the health and well-being of the population. There is a significant increase in the frequency of tropical nights and hot nights on the Mediterranean coast, from Catalonia to the south of Andalusia. The lower latitude and proximity to the coastline are associated with greater persistence of heat and thermal stress during these nights. The hottest nights are more frequent and intense in the city center due to the effect of the urban heat island.
