Incorporating sustainability as a cross-cutting vector in the design of public policies

Incorporating sustainability as a cross-cutting vector in the design of public policies

Spain is committed to incorporating sustainability as a cross-cutting vector in the design of public policies. In the area of trade policy and public financial support for internationalization, this is reflected in the Spanish's support for the inclusion of sustainability in the negotiation of all trade agreements and in the adaptation of our financial instruments to support internationalization to the objectives of ecological transition and the fight against climate change. In conclusion, it is imperative that green transition and sustainability inform the actions of public authorities horizontally. Only in this way will we be able to achieve the ambitious objectives proposed and make the transition to a truly sustainable economic system. The design and negotiation of trade agreements or the adequacy of public financing instruments are just two examples, but fundamental ones, where this approach is required.
