Ensures the compliance with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. It is a law to transform the productive, energy and consumption model. The law facilitates the stability and predictability necessary to establish a new model of socioeconomic development. Set quantified goals and develop short and long-term planning. Among its principles is the protection of the environment, the preservation of biodiversity, and the application of the “polluter pays” principle. It establishes the regulatory framework for Spain to move towards the goal of climate neutrality by mid-century. It includes the necessary institutional cooperation instruments; assessment and learning tools; and a framework facilitating energy transition with channels for integrating the different sectors. It includes a set of targets which can only be revised upwards: It determines by law, for the first time, that Spain should achieve climate neutrality no later than 2050. By mid-century, Spain’s electricity system must be 100% renewable. To this end, by 2030 emissions from the Spanish economy as a whole must be reduced by at least 23% compared with 1990. By the end of the next decade, at least 42% of final energy consumption should be from renewable sources. In the case of the electricity system, at least 74% must be renewable by 2030. Energy efficiency measures will have to reduce primary energy consumption by at least 39,5%. .
