The Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) approved on October 27 the 2035 Framework Program for Energy and Climate Actions, aiming to advance towards climate-neutral, resilient, and socially just municipalities.

The document outlines sixty-one actions to achieve these goals, prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable population. The program addresses the AMB's capacity to promote and manage facilities that reduce harmful emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change in metropolitan municipalities.
The supramunicipal entity will act on two hundred facilities through energy service contracts to reduce energy consumption by 30% by 2035. It will also promote self-consumption models for vulnerable households.
The plan also stipulates that by 2035, 90% of the metropolitan population must have access to a climate shelter within a five-minute walk. To achieve this, the AMB will improve the existing summer network and expand it with micro-shelters and cool routes.
By 2035, the AMB is committed to reducing polluting emissions by 55% through the sixty-one actions (forty-one for mitigation and twenty for adaptation) outlined in the program.
