The Government has approved in the Council of Ministers an environmental plan with which it intends to promote the reconstruction of the economy after the coronavirus pandemic. These are measures in which the Ministry of Ecological Transition led by Teresa Ribera has been working for more than a year and a half and which have the final objective of reducing the country's polluting emissions in stages until 2050.

Now, with the country plunged into a recession that threatens to contract GDP this year by 9.5%, the Executive believes that measures to reconvert the production model may also be a pillar to promote economic reconstruction from 2021. The The plan guarantees the mobilization of up to 200,000 million euros for this purpose in a decade, most of it of private origin, and promises to generate a total of 350,000 jobs.

"The moment is particularly delicate. We are presenting a public debate on how we want to rebuild Spain, with a wonderful opportunity orienting the recovery process towards a model of prosperity," Ribera said at a press conference in Moncloa.

The plan has several legs that affect electricity generation through the installation of renewable energy that replaces coal and nuclear power, the reduction of energy consumption through efficiency and saving measures, or changes in mobility by promoting the electric vehicle.
