Most important environmental issues in Spain 2019
In your view, what are the three most important environmental issues facing Spain today?*
According to the results of a survey conducted by Ipsos in March 2019, over 50 percent of Spaniards believed that global warming or climate change is one of the top three environmental issues facing Spain, followed by air pollution (41 percent) and waste management (35 percent). By contrast, only seven percent of respondents believe soil erosion to be a top three environmental issue.
CO2 emission curbs in Spain
There is no denial of the fact that global warming is happening in front of our eyes: ice sheets in the Arctic are melting and the extreme weather events becomes more and more unpredictable shifting. Many countries are trying to react and have set ambitious plans in order to reduce CO2 emissions before it’s too late. Spain, for example, has reduced its CO2 emissions over the recent years from approximately 379 million metric tons of CO2 down to roughly 302 million metric tons in 2017. In the European context, Germany was the biggest polluter, with its CO2 emissions amounting to 664.3 metric tons in 2017.
Greenhouse emissions in Spain
Despite managing to cut greenhouse gas emissions produced as a result of energy generation, the energy sector is still responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions in Spain. For example, in 2016, the sector generated the equivalent of 244 million tons of CO2. Other sectors such as manufacturing and construction, as well as agriculture, also saw a remarkable impressive 30-million-ton decrease in their CO2 emissions. Unfortunately, as data show, the efforts of these sectors were not as successful and the results not as impressive.
