• Spain, in 2023, experienced its second hottest year since 1961, surpassed only by 2022.
• For the first time, none of the year's twelve months were cold.
• The increase in temperatures will be a constant global trend unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced and an economy still based on fossil fuels changes.
• Spain and its citizens must prepare for increasingly intense heatwaves and other climate consequences.
• Heat-related mortality has grown by nearly 30% in Europe over the past two decades.
• The European elections are crucial, and the resulting Commission should prioritize emission reduction.

Conclusion: Promoting the green transition is not ideological, but a matter of survival and requires everyone's participation.
