This article analyzes how the Spanish press covers the mitigation of climate change. We have
used the search engine MyNews to study in El País and El Mundo, the newspapers with the
largest circulation in Spain during the years 2016 and 2017, the news that includes the words
"mitigacion" o "reducción de emisiones", y "cambio climatico” o “calentamiento global" in the
most circulation newspapers in Spain in 2016 and 2017: El País and El Mundo. To explain how
mitigation is covered by the Spanish press, we have used a series of categories and variables.
As a result, we find an important difference between the urgency expressed by the scientific
community and the reduced presence of this topic in the Spanish press
