Overview

• Pedro Sánchez proposes an Agencia Estatal de Protección Civil y Emergencias to improve shared decision-making across administrations in a changing climate.
• The climate pact is slated to be sealed by December, with the prime minister citing the urgency after more than 330,000 hectares burned this summer.
• Reports suggest the new body could evolve from the current Dirección General de Protección Civil y Emergencias, though the government has not confirmed structural details.
• PP-led governments in Galicia, Castilla y León and Extremadura call the plan late and insufficient, urging immediate funding, logistics and clear coordination protocols.
• Sánchez urges energy companies and major industry to help build consensus as the PP rejects the pact and nationalist parties warn of potential recentralization of powers.
