Portugal
Core Country
Coordinating structure: Cities for Climate Network, a collaborative initiative, funded by the Environmental Fund, aims to accelerate the transition to climate neutrality in Portuguese cities and regions. This network was founded by Portuguese cities interested in participating in the European Cities Mission. The network comprises 20 cities so far, is aligned with the European Mission, and promotes the participation of Portuguese cities in the Twinning Learning Program and other funding mechanisms. Its activities are promoted and managed by the Technical Secretariat, promoted by IN+/IST.
National partners supporting the Cities Mission: IN+/IST, the Directorate General for Energy and Geology (DGEG) and the Directorate General for Territory (DGT) are promoting initiatives to foster the dialogue and synergies between national and regional organizations and the Cities for Climate Network.
