Spain's National Climate Change Adaptation Plan 2021-2030.

The National Climate Change Adaptation Plan 2021-2030 (PNACC 2021-2030) for Spain serves as the reference framework for coordinating public administrations in activities related to climate change impact assessment, vulnerability studies, and adaptation. This document replaces the previous plan (PNACC-1) which covered the period 2006-2020. The Plan's core objectives include facilitating and providing continuous assistance to all interested administrations and organisations, both public and private and at all levels, to evaluate climate change impacts in Spain within their specific sector or system. It aims to provide available information, tools, and assessment methods to promote participation among stakeholders, leading to the definition of optimal adaptation options. The Plan considers a wide scope of areas of work and socio-economic sectors for impact assessment, vulnerability studies, and adaptation. These include Human health, Water resources, Natural heritage, biodiversity and protected areas, Forestry, desertification, hunting and inland fisheries, Agriculture, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture and food, Coasts and marine environment, City, urban planning and building, Cultural heritage, Energy, Mobility and transport, Industry and services, Tourism, Financial system and insurance activity, Disaster risk reduction, Research and innovation, Education and society, and Peace, security and social cohesion. It also addresses interrelationships between these areas. The strategic components for adaptation action outlined in the Plan involve knowledge generation, integration into sectoral plans, programmes, and regulations, mobilisation of actors, and monitoring and evaluation. Guiding principles include social and territorial equity, leveraging science and knowledge, transversality and integration in public management, addressing unwanted effects, and promoting coordinated, transparent, and effective action. Transversal aspects such as territorial and social vulnerability, cross-border effects, gender mainstreaming, preventing maladaptation, and assessing costs and benefits are also considered. Based on the provided index, the Plan itself covers the period 2021-2030. The index does not list specific compliance dates for external entities or name specific underlying statutes beyond the Plan itself.
