The Minister of Social Rights,
Ione Belarra,
has agreed with environmental organizations the need for Spain to increase its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, taking advantage of the United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP26)
"COP26 gives us the opportunity to step on the accelerator in the fight against the climate emergency. It is time to be more ambitious in the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to ensure that the increase in temperature does not exceed 1 , 5 ° C, "Belarra pointed out on Twitter.
Precisely this Wednesday the head of Social Rights, together with the spokesperson for the Ecological Transition of the United Podemos parliamentary group,
Juantxo López de Uralde
, met with representatives of WWF, Ecologists in Action, Greenpeace, SEO / Birdlife and Friends of the Earth .
This meeting is part of the summit that is held in the Scottish city of Glasgow and to which Spain attends with the
Climate Change Law
approved (last May), being one of the ten countries that includes emission reduction targets in a state law.
In the Spanish case, the emission reduction forecast for 2030 is 23% compared to the 1990 level.
Precisely, sources from the Ministry have considered that Spain "should take advantage of its presence at COP26 to step on the accelerator in the fight against the climate emergency, being more ambitious and leading the emission reduction objectives in the EU."
In addition, they emphasize that the Climate Change Law includes a mechanism for "reviewing the emission reduction targets, always on the rise, which can be carried out as of 2023."
