España
Located in the southeast of Spain on the Mediterranean coast, Almería is one of Europe’s driest cities, shaped by its semi-arid landscape and strong connection to agriculture and the sea. The city has around 200,000 inhabitants and serves as an important regional centre for logistics, tourism and intensive greenhouse farming across the wider province. Almería experiences long, hot summers, mild winters and very low annual rainfall. As temperatures rise, the city faces increasing pressure from drought, water scarcity, heatwaves and land degradation.
Climate action in Almería is closely tied to the realities of living with limited water resources and extreme heat. Urban growth, transport emissions and the environmental impact of intensive agriculture all create additional pressures, while climate change is expected to intensify already challenging conditions. The city’s approach combines mitigation and adaptation, with a strong focus on resilience and resource efficiency.
Key priorities include improving water management, expanding renewable energy and reducing emissions from buildings and mobility. Almería is also investing in greener urban spaces and climate-adapted infrastructure to reduce heat exposure in public areas. Its climate strategy is shaped by the need to balance economic activity with environmental limits, making practical adaptation measures a central part of its path toward climate neutrality.
