Portugal ranks fourth worldwide in Allianz's 65-economy carbon-neutrality tracker, slipping one place

Allianz Research's 2026 Green Transition Tracker, covering 65 economies that produce 81% of global emissions, puts Portugal fourth with 48.7 points, one place lower than before. Emissions are down 21.6% since 2015 and electric cars made up 38% of new sales in 2025. Progress is slower than the world and EU averages, though, and the low-carbon share of electricity fell from 85.2% to 80.9%. Globally, net zero is projected for 2064 rather than 2050, and for 2057 in the EU. Renewables overtook coal as the top source of electricity for the first time in 2025.
