The Basque Country is a region committed to the fight against climate change. It is one of the 22 regions that make up the UN’s “Climate Ambition Partnership”. This recognizes internationally its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 or earlier, and to being a region that is resilient to the effects of climate change. Furthermore, in order to meet these objectives the Energy Transition and Climate Change Law is currently being processed, which will be the policy and regulatory framework that will allow us to achieve this.

Urban Klima 2050 aims to promote the integration of climate change into sectoral energy, health and water policies, and it also encourages climate action at local level, the implementation of intervention projects and the empowerment and co-responsibility of citizens so they can take action. Regarding this last objective, different action plans have been drawn up in an innovative way through co-creation processes together with Basque citizens.
