This note proposes a framework to estimate the employment effects of floods in Spain, combining imputed damage data with a spatial panel model. These extreme events cause job losses and regional spillovers, but timely aid mitigates them. The DANA in Valencia illustrates the frameworks' accuracy and its policy relevance.

The weight of green skills (i.e. green intensity) in Spain reached 4% in the period 2015-2024, in line with the EU-27 average. The profile of workers with green competences varies by skill type. Those with knowledge in renewable energy or environmental policies tend to be younger and more educated.

Climate scenarios can be clustered by temperature goals and ranked by the feasibility of the policies to achieve them. Under current commitments, scenarios projecting a 2.3°C–3.0°C temperature increase are the most plausible; more ambitious targets require policy shifts -and breakthrough innovation- that are less likely.

COP29 reflects that multilateralism in climate action is (hardly) alive, with (small) steps like (minimal) financing agreements for developing economies or (delayed) carbon credit international exchange operations. All in all a small step forward, insufficient to bridge the gap to the Paris Agreement goals.

The 2023 Air Emission Accounts highlight an annual decrease in GHG emissions. This reduction has been driven by a transition to a “cleaner” energy mix, coupled with improvements in energy efficiency. These advancements represent a meaningful step forward on the path toward meeting the ambitious climate goals set.

During the week of November 12 to 18, the improvement trend in most spending indicators stopped. Growth rates have shown a similar behavior to that of the previous week, maintaining a negative gap with respect to the evolution observed in the rest of Spain.
