# Catalonia launches €2.5bn school climate plan

15 September 2026 at 10:50

> The Generalitat will invest €2.5 billion by 2031 to install modern cooling and ventilation systems in 2,530 public schools.

The **Generalitat of Catalonia** has launched a climate control plan for 2,530 public schools, committing 2.5 billion euros until 2031. Led by Education head Esther Niubó, the project begins with a 100 million euro investment across 100 priority educational centres.

These initial schools, selected based on extreme temperatures and vulnerability, will be fully climate-controlled by the 2027/2028 academic year. The plan replaces obsolete heating with modern cooling, ventilation, and mechanical air renewal systems throughout.

A technical office will coordinate the works, which also cover 51 public residential care homes. Local councils can manage execution from 2027 with 100% reimbursement, addressing the fact that 26% of Catalan public centres were constructed before 1960.
