Spain has introduced 'paid climate leave' of up to four days for workers during weather emergencies, following the deadly floods in October. "No worker must run risks," Labour Minister Yolanda Díaz said, emphasising the need to address climate change-related risks. The policy follows criticism of companies requiring employees to work during floods, despite a red alert by national weather agency.
