Key points

• At COP31, the Global Pact for Autarchies showed cities pursuing ambitious climate targets, but they fall short of government efforts to combat energy poverty.
• In Portugal, climate change and energy inequality remain separate issues with no evidence of convergence or policy alignment.

Context

The article reports on COP31 outcomes where autonomous cities set ambitious climate goals but lack the mechanisms to address energy poverty, specifically in Portugal where these two issues remain distinct.
