Canary Islands Launches Public Consultation for Carbon Footprint Registry

The Canary Islands government has initiated a public consultation process regarding the development of the Carbon Footprint Registry, a strategic tool designed to help entities within the archipelago measure and manage their carbon emissions. This initiative aims to enhance the region's environmental policies and facilitate compliance with Spain's broader climate commitments.

The consultation, launched on September 4, 2025, seeks the input of businesses, organizations, and the general public to shape the implementation of the registry. This tool is expected to be pivotal for tracking emissions and fostering transparency among entities operating in the Canary Islands. As part of the consultation process, stakeholders are invited to submit suggestions that will inform the design and functionality of the registry, thereby ensuring it addresses actual needs and challenges faced by local entities in managing their carbon footprints.

This measure aligns with the Canary Islands’ objectives to promote sustainability, as emphasized by policymakers. Local officials highlighted that creating a comprehensive carbon footprint framework is essential for understanding the region's impacts on climate change and developing effective mitigation strategies. The registry is considered a step forward in bolstering the Canary Islands' commitments to environmental sustainability and climate action.

As the consultation progresses, the regional government aims to cultivate collaborative efforts that engage various sectors and strengthen climate action initiatives moving forward.
