According to the report published by the entity, the deployment of these infrastructures is progressing very slowly compared to the pace of global warming. The organization warns that, with the arrival of new heatwaves, the lack of adequate spaces increases the vulnerability of groups such as children, the elderly, and patients with chronic diseases.
Greenpeace emphasizes that it is not enough to label a place as a climate shelter. To be considered as such, the space must guarantee free access, clear identification, extended hours covering the hottest times of the day, rest areas, and the availability of drinking water for hydration.
In the case of the Comunitat Valenciana, the report points out that València is the only capital with these resources, although they are all indoors and maintain their regular operating hours. Likewise, the entity criticizes that, although the Generalitat Valenciana has promoted its own network, only six non-capital municipalities are currently participating in it.
