Portugal and climate change

 

Portugal is one of the European countries with the greatest vulnerabilities to climate change.  They are particularly exposed to drought, forest fires and coastline erosion.

Over 30% of Portugals total energy consumption is provided by renewable energy.  (Compared to the US at only about 20%).  Portugal has committed to be climate neutral by 2050 and to close all coal producing facilities by 2030.

If every country did this we would provide a tremendous gift to our grandchildren.
