Spain's Sanchez Seeks Climate Change Pact with Neighbors
Spain's leader, Pedro Sanchez, wants to team up with France and Portugal to fight climate change.
This comes after big wildfires in Spain.
He plans to create a plan with different groups to address this issue.
The plan will involve things like preventing fires, building new water systems, and limiting building in risky areas.
Sanchez wants to speed up the switch to eco-friendly ways.
However, some political parties disagree with the plan.
They think Sanchez has tried similar things before without success.
Prime Minister Sanchez announced plans to coordinate climate change measures with neighboring countries.
The move is in response to weather-related disasters, specifically August's wildfires.
Sanchez is proposing a 'state pact' on climate change with various groups.
Proposed measures include fire prevention and new infrastructure.
Some political parties already oppose the idea of a pact.
