What changed
Galicia's Climate Law establishes a binding legal framework for climate action in the region, targeting net greenhouse gas emission reductions of at least 75% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and climate neutrality by 2040. It places climate considerations at the centre of all public policies, establishes regional meteorological and air quality services, and requires a regional integrated climate and energy plan.
Who is affected
All public administrations, businesses, and residents of Galicia are affected, as the law requires climate considerations to be integrated into public policy across all sectors including transport, energy, agriculture, and construction.
What to look out for
→ Public administrations and businesses in Galicia should assess how their activities align with the new climate targets and prepare for sectoral regulations that will follow from this framework law.
