Summary

Description
English: This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 30 April 2023 shows the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago located off the coast of northwest Africa and renowned for its unique ecosystems and stunning natural beauty.

The Canary Islands are now facing the dire consequences of climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the potential displacement of local communities.

If current climate change trends are to continue, the archipelago could lose half of its beaches and 10% of its housing. Considering these challenges, the local administration is calling for greater control over the islands’ governance and decision-making processes. It argues that increased autonomy would provide it with the necessary tools and resources to implement effective measures to mitigate the effects of climate change and safeguard the future of local communities.
