Royal Decree 214/2025: obligation to calculate carbon footprints, draw up emission reduction plans and publicly disclose the same

What is truly new is the obligation imposed on specific companies and public bodies to calculate their carbon footprint and to draw up greenhouse gas emission reduction plans, as well as to publish the same. The royal decree’s succinct wording raises some questions of interpretation.

Permanent incapacity, except if employee decides otherwise or if an excessive burden on employer, no longer triggers termination of contract
The obligation to accommodate the workplace for persons with a permanent incapacity has come to the fore with such incapacity no longer constituting an automatic termination-of-employment-contract event. Now, unless the employee intends otherwise, the employer has three months to make necessary adjustments or to offer a suitable vacant post, and a failure to do so that is not justified on the grounds of excessive burden means not only a breach of law with all its consequences, but also the continuation of the employer/employee relationship with all its consequences.

Supreme Court judgment on the Campelo wind farm: does it clear the path for wind energy in Galicia?
Supreme Court Judgment no. 316/2025 marks a turning point in the intense litigation surrounding wind energy projects in Galicia. While confirming its doctrine on the public consultation procedure, the Supreme Court clarifies that the fact that several wind farms share evacuation infrastructure does not, in and of itself, establish the existence of a single project for environmental purposes, contrary to what was previously held by the Galician High Court of Justice.
