Spain introduces "paid climate leave" allowing workers up to four days off during weather emergencies.

Spain's government has introduced "paid climate leave," allowing workers up to four days off to avoid traveling during weather emergencies. This follows deadly floods in October that killed 230 people and criticism of companies requiring employees to work during a red alert. The policy aims to protect workers from risks during extreme weather events. The government also announced 2.3 billion euros in aid for flood victims and warned that extreme weather costs could double by 2050.
