    European Union policies and their role in combating climate change over the years
    (Springer, 2022-01-08) Cifuentes Faura, Javier; Ciencia Política, Antropología Social y Hacienda Pública; Facultad de Economía y Empresa
    The worrying environmental situation and increased public awareness in recent years have led many countries to take measures to reduce negative impacts on the environment. The European Union (EU) has been one of the most active in environmental protection with the formulation of policies aimed at preserving the health and well-being of citizens and protecting natural resources. One of the objectives of environmental policies is to make the economy of its member states more environmentally friendly, although this requires finding solutions to major challenges such as climate change, the scarcity of natural resources, the emission of polluting gases, and unsustainable consumption and production. This article reviews the main policies that have been implemented in the EU to reduce environmental problems and the scope of climate change conferences. It offers solutions to promote sustainability that could be adopted by companies, individuals, and governmental institutions to jointly contribute to achieving a more sustainable world, where problems such as climate change or the emission of polluting gases are minimized. The aim is to follow the principles of the Circular Economy and the European Green Deal.

    How does the European Green Deal affect the disclosure of environmental information?
    (Wiley, 2023-04-20) García Sánchez, Isabel María; Aibar Guzmán, Beatriz; Marín-Hernández, Salvador; Ortiz-Martínez, Esther; Economía Financiera y Contabilidad; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Economía y Empresa
    The European Union has made the fight against climate change and the achievement of a sustainable economy political priorities. To promote the ecological transition of companies and corporate transparency, a broad regulatory framework has been developed. This paper analyses the effect of institutional pressures derived from this regulatory framework on the environmental information disclosed by 832 multinationals in the period 2011–2020. The results reveal a positive global effect, although, at an individual level, this effect is only maintained for the regulations and recommendations related to non-financial information and the European Green Deal. Furthermore, the impact differs depending on the category of environmental information disclosed.

    El Pacto Verde Europeo como antesala de la Ley Europea del Clima.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Rando Burgos, Esther
    El cambio climático y la degradación del medio ambiente constituyen, desafortunadamente, una amenaza a nivel mundial. Europa, en un firme propósito por superar los retos que supone, aboga por una nueva estrategia de crecimiento capaz de transformarla en una economía moderna, eficiente en el uso de los recursos y competitiva, con un triple objetivo de partida: dejar de producir emisiones netas de gases de efecto invernadero en 2050; un crecimiento económico disociado del uso de recursos; que ninguna persona ni lugar se queden atrás. El logro de una economía sostenible en la Unión Europea toma, en principio, como hoja de ruta el Pacto Verde Europeo, pero trata de ir más allá en su propósito de ser climáticamente neutra en 2050, para lo que se ha propuesto una Ley Europea del Clima que convierta el actual compromiso político en una obligación legal.
