Overview

  • The CECC has submitted a non-binding carbon budget recommending a 67% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 compared to 1990 levels.
  • Achieving this target requires annual emissions reductions of 8%, with detailed plans for transport, energy, industry, and agriculture sectors.
  • The transport sector must cut emissions by 72% by 2035, focusing on electrification, expanded public transportation, and reduced reliance on short-haul flights.
  • The energy sector is tasked with a 91% emissions reduction, emphasizing renewable energy adoption and phasing out fossil fuels.
  • The Generalitat is reviewing the feasibility of the proposal and will refine and present its own draft for parliamentary consideration in the coming months.
