Climate change, economy & health: regarding the proposal to expand Barcelona airport

In October, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that global warming is the greatest health threat mankind currently faces. In this context, the proposed expansion of Barcelona-El Prat Airport has been at the center of the debate on what kind of economic growth is compatible with environmental sustainability.
