The working group Climate change and energy transition, presents the summary of your activities of this last academic year 2021-2022.
El Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, was a historic milestone in the global fight against climate change. The Agreement's fundamental objective is a global transition that will culminate in a development model that is low in carbon and resilient to climate change.
The political commitment of the European Union with respect to the Paris Agreement is basically included in the conclusions of the European Council of October 23 and 24, 2014, which agreed on the framework for action of the European Union in the field of climate and energy until the year 2030.
Likewise, on November 30, 2016, the European Commission presented the “Clean Energy for All” package. This package, once implemented, intended to create a more sustainable, secure and competitive European energy system to make compliance with the climate change objectives established in the Paris Agreement compatible with the delivery of energy to the consumer at affordable prices.
The translation of the set of commitments assumed at the international and European level required Spain to provide itself with a regulatory framework that includes the medium and long-term objectives for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, giving solid legal support to energy planning.
