Spain đĒđ¸ has introduced "paid climate leave" following the freak floods on 29 October that killed 224 people and marked the worst natural disaster the country has seen in recent years.
The new measure allows workers to take up to four days off to avoid travelling during weather emergencies and natural disasters.
It comes after multiple companies have faced criticism for making employees go to work on the day of the disaster, despite the National Weather Agency issuing a red alert.
By introducing this policy, the Spanish government acknowledges the immense impact global warming is now having on our daily lives, amid ongoing climate denialism from the right.
