Citizen campaign asks public to choose ten climate measures to demand from government

A civic initiative called Provedor do Clima, backed by the European Climate Pact and several Portuguese groups, has opened a call for citizens to propose climate measures. Proposals are accepted until 31 December, with the ten chosen to be announced in March 2027 and handed to the Government, parliamentary groups and the Presidency. The organisers cite delays in implementing the 2021 Climate Framework Law, including a stalled independent climate council and late carbon budgets. Measures must be achievable with existing state tools, deliver results within one legislature and not deepen inequality. If nothing is implemented, a citizens' legislative initiative is possible.
