It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the publication and registration of the protocol, "Climate Change and Health: Intercultural Dialogue Strategies between Primary-Care Physicians and Patients - A Systematic Review," on OSF (Center for Open Science) and PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews of National Institute for Health and Care Research).

This work, authored jointly by Nídia Ponte, Fátima Alves, and Diogo Guedes Vidal, represents a significant milestone in the study of intercultural dialogue strategies in healthcare, particularly within the context of climate change.

Due to the thematic focus of this review, we chose to register first on PROSPERO, a platform specialised in health-related systematic reviews and dedicated to the anticipation of review registrations. Additionally, we registered on OSF, which provides open storage, public access to protocols, and DOI assignment. Thus, registration on both platforms ensures transparency and promotes collaboration in research.

This initiative will not only enhance scientific knowledge at the intersection of health, culture, and climate but also inform future interventions aimed at promoting community resilience and climate justice.
