Summary
Climate change is projected to significantly impact the French Way of Santiago (Camino Francés) in Castilla y León, Spain, with potential repercussions on pilgrim seasonality, health, local services, and cultural heritage. The study, based on IPCC-AR5 climate scenarios, predicts increased temperatures, prolonged heat waves, reduced rainfall, and more intense precipitation events. These changes could alter the route's conditions, necessitating proactive adaptation and resilience measures to mitigate adverse effects. By analyzing these projected climatic variations, the research aims to anticipate challenges and inform strategies for sustainable pilgrimage management.
