Sustainable recommendations for implementation

The environment is the set of natural and artificial elements that surround us and that allow us to live and develop. Caring for the environment is everyone's responsibility, as our health, our quality of life and our future depend on it. Some tips for caring for the environment are:   - Save water, reduce its consumption and reuse it. Water is a vital and scarce resource that we must preserve. We can save water by turning off taps when we are not using them, taking showers instead of baths, watering plants in cooler hours, using efficient household appliances, collecting rainwater, etc. - Switch off lights and electronic devices when not in use to save energy. Electricity is mainly produced from fossil fuels which emit greenhouse gases and contribute to climate change. We can save energy by using energy-saving light bulbs or LEDs, taking advantage of natural light, unplugging chargers when we don't need them, using the energy saving mode on computers, etc. - Commit to renewabl...

What is the decarbonised economy and why is it important?

The decarbonised economy is an economic model that seeks to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere, which are the main cause of climate change and global warming. The aim of the decarbonised economy is to achieve climate neutrality, i.e. CO2 emissions equal to or less than nature's absorption capacity. To achieve a decarbonised economy, an energy transition is required, involving the use of renewable, clean and efficient energy sources to replace fossil fuels such as oil, coal or natural gas. It also requires a transformation of productive sectors, such as industry, transport, agriculture and construction, to adopt resource saving, efficiency and recycling measures. The decarbonised economy is an opportunity for sustainable development, innovation, competitiveness and job creation. It also contributes to improving health, quality of life and environmental protection. The European Union and several countries around the world have committed to achieving the decarbo...
