Overview

• The Xunta’s draft sets climate neutrality for 2040, positioning the region a decade ahead of the EU timeline.
• It also targets a 75% cut in greenhouse gases by 2030, with officials citing a 61.7% reduction already achieved.
• The proposal establishes an Office of Climate Change, a Climate Action Portal and an interdepartmental commission to coordinate policy.
• Public contracts would carry climate clauses, companies would see green tax incentives, and municipalities over 20,000 residents must adopt local climate plans.
• Meteogalicia would be reinforced as the Xunta seeks a transfer of staff and competencies from AEMET to create a single meteorology service for forecasts and alerts.
