Portugal stands at a pivotal moment in its journey toward carbon neutrality, requiring bold policies and innovative solutions to drive the energy transition and meet sustainability goals.
As part of the project "Decarbonization: What Path for Portugal?" led by Estúdio P at PÚBLICO, Ana Rodrigues, Executive Director of the Nova SBE Environmental Economics Knowledge Center, stressed the importance of a stable regulatory framework to foster innovation and encourage private sector investment. She highlighted how well-structured policies can accelerate the transition to renewable energy and provide companies with the necessary support to achieve their sustainability targets.
The project also included valuable contributions from Filipa Pantaleão (BCSD Portugal), João Pinto (Católica Porto Business School), Carlos Jesus (Colt Technology Services), and Francisco Ferreira (Zero), all of whom underscored the critical role of clear targets and incentives in aligning economic interests with climate action.
Key takeaways from the project include:
- The importance of promoting renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, as pillars of the energy transition.
- The potential of green hydrogen as an innovative solution to decarbonize industries.
- The need for cross-sector collaboration to align business strategies with climate goals.
Portugal's commitment to renewable energy and investment in green innovation positions the country as a leader in the race toward carbon neutrality. However, achieving these goals requires a unified effort from policymakers, businesses, and communities to set clear targets and incentives that drive sustainable progress.
