Climate Action and Spatial Planning - Territorializing Climate Action in Portugal

3 Junho 2023, 09:00 • João Morais Lavadinho Mourato

ACOT's last session breaks down in three parts. First, a synthesis of the last 15 years in terms of Climate Action policy developments in Portugal, how these were informed, fueled and what practice of implementation happened thereafter. Second, we take a closer look on how climate action policy goals are included in spatial planning instruments and how this translates in practice. Third, and last, we focus on the development of the Portuguese Local Climate Governance landscape, focusing on how a lapsing multilevel governance system opened the way for strong bottom-up local climate governance networks.
