Episode #17: Climate Leaders 101: Teresa Ribera’s push for Spanish and European centralized climate change policies

Teresa Ribera is a relevant climate leader because she is in the spotlight in the Europeanfight against climate change as the minister for the Ecological Transition of Spainsince 2018. In this episode of our 2023 Climate Leaders 101, we discuss climate leader Teresa Ribera with IE student Ajinkya. We look at her environmental interest due to her background in academia and her rise in ministerial ranks in Spain. We then compare how this differed from her leadership experience as director of the IDDRI (Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations) and lessons learned to be implemented back into the European policy dimension regarding climate action. By helping us understand Spain’s four environmental challenges, Ajinkya goes into detail regarding her policies, such as Spain’s Hydrogen Roadmap and the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan for 2030. To end the discussion, Ajinkya goes into the obstacles facing Teresa, including bureaucratic, agri-food, and political party blocks. He then agrees that Teresa IS a climate leader, especially due to her consistency, genuine concern for climate change, and determination. The Climate Leaders 101 series is brought to you as a collaboration between RAIA and IE University’s School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs. Ten IE students have researched five climate leaders under RAIA supervision and with RAIA’s methodology ahead of the COP28. This is the second year we have conducted this research program fully financed by our partners from IE University. Check out the report on Teresa written by Ajinkya Deshpande & Valeria Eggers: https://raiagroup.org/ie-university-x-raia-research-program-2023.
