In a plenary session held this morning, the Almería City Council took a significant step in its commitment to sustainability by initially approving the Municipal Plan against Climate Change (PMCC). This strategic document, which will guide the city's actions until 2030, sets a primary goal of a 44% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and foresees an investment of nearly 291 million euros.

The technical plan details over 50 specific measures designed to transform Almería into a more resilient, green, and livable city, capable of facing the challenges arising from global warming.

Among the key initiatives, a strong push for sustainable mobility stands out. This includes the completion of the pedestrianization of the Paseo de Almería and the implementation of the Low Emission Zone, as well as the expansion of the bike lane network to connect all city neighborhoods.

Furthermore, the PMCC places considerable emphasis on energy efficiency, projecting the large-scale installation of photovoltaic panels in critical infrastructures such as the desalination plant and promoting self-consumption in both public and private buildings. Urban environment adaptation is also fundamental, with the creation of new “green infrastructures” and shaded areas to mitigate heat islands, alongside regeneration projects in emblematic areas like Camino Viejo or Barrio del Santo.
