Royal Decrees No. 163/2014 and No 1.007/2015 on carbon footprint, compensation and carbon dioxide absorption

Law passed

Complemented by Royal Decree 1007/2015

The purpose of this Royal Decree is to create carbon footprint, compensation and carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption projects. The creation of the registry aims to contribute to the reduction at the national level of greenhouse gas emissions to increase the absorption by carbon sinks in the national territory and to facilitate in this way the fulfilment of Spain's international commitments.

Justice is the ethical and political framework that addresses fairness, including issues of responsibility, rights, and structural inequity.

the fair distribution of risks and opportunities of climate change and the transition to a regenerative economy, cognisant in particular of disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities and the working class

Procedural justice means ensuring that decision making is fair and inclusive, emphasizing the agency and influence of vulnerable groups and those most impacted.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.
