Study Notes
Climate Change and Energy Transition
- Focuses on evaluating projects to identify environmental risks and promote an energy transition.
- Greenhouse effect is necessary for life, but enhanced CO2 from fossil fuels causes global warming.
- Global Reaction: World Meteorological Organization and IPCC were created. Annual reports are made on climate change. Three working groups (scientific, socioeconomic and emission limitation) are established.
- Rio Conference (1992): First international instrument to address climate change.
- Precautionary Principle: Decisions based on scientific evidence to manage environmental risks.
- Diverse perspectives exist according to location and economics (e.g., coastal vs. fuel exporters).
- Kyoto Protocol (1997): Binding instrument for GHG reduction (2005-2020).
- Paris Agreement (2015): Global framework to limit global warming to +2°C.
- Glasgow Pact (2021): Reaffirms the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
- COP27 (2022) and COP28 (2023): Focus on financing for vulnerable countries and ending reliance on fossil fuels.
- European & Spanish Regulations: Directives and laws related to emissions trading, renewable energies, waste & circular economy, emissions trading, and fuel quality.
Key European Legislation
- 4 Directives & 1 Regulation: Focus on renewable energies, emissions trading, carbon capture and storage, and fuel quality.
- Decisions: Shared effort for reducing emissions in sectors outside of the EU ETS (Emissions Trading System).
Spanish Regulations
- Royal Decree-Law 5/2004: Trading GHG emission allowances.
- Law 1/2005: Extended General Framework with Aviation.
- Law 13/2010: Expanded the general framework.
- Law 40/2020: Geological storage of CO2.
- Law 6/2022 (Valencian Community): Climate change & ecological transition.
- Law 7/2021 (Spain): Basic framework on climate change and energy transition.
- Law 7/2022: Waste and circular economy.
Law 7/2021 (Spain): On Climate Change & Energy Transition
- Purpose: Decarbonization and circular economy transition. Ensures international commitments, and transition of the electricity system.
- Fundamental principles: Sustainability, decarbonization, environmental protection, preservation of biodiversity, social and territorial cohesion, adaptation/resilience.
- Just Transition Strategy: Optimized opportunities, fair & equitable treatment for workers & communities affected by the transition, including the identification of vulnerable groups.
Climate Change and Legislation
- Climate change is natural and anthropogenic (human influenced).
- Causes of climate change (natural and anthropogenic): Milankovitch cycles, volcanic activity, solar radiation, GHG emissions, deforestation and land use, intensive agriculture, industry.
- Effects of climate change: impacts on temperature, ecosystems, socioeconomic impacts, food security.
Objectives of the Law (Spain)
- Climate neutrality (2050) with intermediate objectives (2030)
- Achieving 23% reduction in GHG emissions, 42% renewable energies in final consumption, and 74% renewable electricity generation.
