Thousands of businesses were affected, some literally washed away by the floodwater, while others were able to resume operations after a lengthy recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It was a disaster, both in terms of the lives lost and the impact on businesses, on workers, employers and ordinary people,&#8221; says Laura Ll\u00e1cer \u00c1lvarez, manager of the Fepeval federation of industrial parks in the Valencia region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Spain&#8217;s geographical position, along with its climate and topography, make it unusually vulnerable as global temperatures increase. Germanwatch, an independent environmental organisation, ranked Spain the world&#8217;s 20th most affected country in its climate risk index for 2024, just behind Nigeria and Mali.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yet there are those who see an upside for the economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Climate change affects how we produce, how we invest and how we consume,&#8221; says Juli\u00e1n Cubero, head of economics of climate change at economic think tank BBVA Research. He points to how heat can act as a drag on economic activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We all work worse when it&#8217;s hot,&#8221; he says. However, he adds, a greener economy can create new jobs with greater productivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The key is to realise that if we don&#8217;t act, growth will slow down, and if it&#8217;s handled right it can become an opportunity,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 728px 160px; gap:2px; width:908px;
