Spain has approved the creation of a new scientific panel to guide government action on climate change, as the country faces one of the most severe wildfire seasons in its history. The new body, called the Scientific Panel on Action against Climate Change, will provide independent, multidisciplinary advice to support public policy and improve decision-making in response to the climate crisis, according to Euro News. The new panel will operate through a two-tier structure, combining a technical committee with a scientific council made up of ten leading researchers from fields such as climate science, health, agriculture, and environmental law. The initiative forms part of Spain’s broader State Pact on the Climate Emergency, introduced in 2025 after extensive public consultation. Officials hope it will bring scientific knowledge closer to political decisions at a time of growing environmental pressure.
