Portugal sobe para a 11.ª posição no índice de desempenho climático

Portugal has improved its position in the Climate Change Performance Index, now ranking 11th among 64 countries. Despite this advancement, the environmental organization Zero warns of shortcomings in policy execution and emission reductions. The report highlights that while Portugal's emissions per capita are decreasing, they may not meet the Paris Agreement's targets. The transport sector remains a significant contributor to emissions, and there is a call for increased investment in public transport and renewable energy. The report also criticizes the lack of a concrete plan to phase out fossil fuels and the ongoing reliance on them.
