Portugal is amongst the top three eco-friendly countries in the world, out-performing a number of countries that have extensive ‘green’ legislation, but which failed to convert their laws into results.
In the week that marks the culmination of the UN Climate Change Conference in Doha, Qatar, Portugal’s praises have been sung far and wide and the country is being increasingly used as an example for richer and poorer nations to follow.
The eighth annual Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), which was published at the Doha climate talks this week by Germanwatch and the Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, ranks the climate protection performance of the 58 highest emitters worldwide.
Portugal was rated sixth, up from 14th, but with no countries in the top three, after researchers refused to award podium places due to a lack of ambition to reach the goal of keeping global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, the country was effectively placed third.
