The City of Murcia, through ALEM, working since 2008 in the Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy in the Municipality of Murcia (PAES), based mainly on mitigation, ie reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases.
Framed in the European Covenant of Mayors initiative, it aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the city by 20% in 2020. Murcia demonstrated leadership by becoming the first Spanish city, along with Madrid, to adhere to this incentive.
He was also one of the first cities to sign the Mayors Adapt, whereby the capital were invited to take political commitments and take steps to anticipate the inevitable effects of climate change.
At the forefront
Now the European Commission has launched the new Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, by which it intends to adopt a comprehensive approach to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The City Council, through ALEM, again takes the initiative and becomes the first of the Region of Murcia and one of the few in Spain, which already meets some of the commitments of this new Pact as are the "carry out an emissions inventory baseline "and" an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities arising from climate change. "
It is precisely the latter work that will be presented at this event.
The Town Planning, Environment and Huerta, Antonio Navarro, tomorrow will address the Roadmap Municipal Adaptation to Climate Change comprising 5 phases:
- The first two, making climate projections and analysis of climate risks and making the diagnosis of vulnerability of the municipality, have been completed.
- At the moment the third phase of definition of adaptation measures is initiated through a participatory process among citizens.
This roadmap will culminate with the Municipal Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change, which later merged with the Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy in the Municipality of Murcia, resulting in a comprehensive document, in line with the new Plan of Action for the Sustainable Energy and Climate (PAESC).
The presentation will take place tomorrow, from 11:00 until 13:00 in the multipurpose municipal building Abenarabi.
