Climate policies Spain

Having covered five northern Member States whose governments were all supportive of action on climate change and had adopted meaningful actions to limit GHG emissions prior to the NAP process, we now turn to five southern and eastern Member States for which the same cannot be said. Spain and Italy are countries where climate policy did not have the same salience it did in the northern nations that are presented first. Interestingly, the main effect of the lack of early commitment to climate policy was delay in submitting NAPs to Brussels, not significantly different choices.
