Cidades vão mais longe no clima, mas a pobreza energética marca passo

Cities are advancing faster than national governments in climate action, but energy poverty remains a significant issue. The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy report reveals that only 12% of local governments address energy access and poverty, while 67% focus on emissions reduction. Despite ambitious emission reduction goals, many cities lack comprehensive strategies for tackling energy poverty. The report highlights a disconnect in Portugal, where climate initiatives often do not align with social issues. The need for a just transition that integrates climate action with social cohesion is emphasized, as cities face challenges in addressing both areas effectively.
