Briefings

A COP31 serves as the first UN gender strategy test in Portugal, yet the country's new adaptation plan for climate changes fails to address the disproportionate impact on women due to energy poverty. The evidence indicates that while women are more affected by energy poverty, the adaptation strategy does not mention this specific issue. This represents a significant gap between international commitments and local implementation.
