Average decreases in water resources are between 5-14% from 2019 levels, whereas for 2060, an average global reduction of water resources is expected at 17% on the Peninsula. These figures could exceed 20-22% for the scenarios predicted for the end of the century.

Many coastal lowlands could be flooded (Ebro and Llobregat deltas, Manga del Mar Menor, Doñana coast), some of which might be built up. Read more about Many coastal lowlands could be flooded (Ebro and Llobregat deltas, Manga del Mar Menor, Doñana coast), some of which might be built up.
With a generalized rise in mean sea level, deltas and confined and rigidized beaches are the most vulnerable areas. This development could lead to the loss of many Spanish beaches, especially on the Cantabrian coast.

This development could lead to the loss of many Spanish beaches, especially on the Cantabrian coast.
Mean sea level rise projections vary from 10 to 68 centimeters from 2019 levels. A 50-centimeter rise in mean sea level (MSL) can reasonably be expected, with 1 meter in the most pessimistic scenario.

Spain will experience a mean temperature increase of 0.4 ºC per decade in winter and 0.7 ºC per decade in summer, as forecasted under the A2 scenario (a world of independently operating, self-reliant nations with continuously increasing populations and high emissions). Under the B2 scenario (a world in which the emphasis is on local solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability), Spain will be a temperature increase of 0.4 ºC per decade in winter and 0.6ºC per decade in Read more about Spain will experience a mean temperature increase of 0.4 ºC per decade in winter and 0.7 ºC per decade in summer, as forecasted under the A2 scenario (a world of independently operating, self-reliant nations with continuously increasing populations and high emissions).
