Portugal - Final updated NECP 2021-2030 (submitted in 2024)
EUROPA
2024.12.11
The Paris Agreement (PA) reached in 2015 set as long-term objectives to contain the increaseinthe global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, with the commitment of the international community to pursue all efforts to limit this increase to 1.5 °C,values that science sets as the maximum to ensure a continuation of life on the planet without overly disruptive changes. It also set objectives to increase the capacity to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and to mobilise financial flows consistent with low-emission pathways and resilient development.

This agreement, which entered into force on 4 November 2016, thus represented a paradigm shift in the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with the explicit recognition that only with the contribution of everyone can the challenge of climate change be overcome.

The main commitments of the PA are to achieve a global balance between anthropogenic emissions and removals in the second half of the century, to prepare and report successively on the “ Nationally Determined Contribution” (NDC) to the overall emission reduction effort, which should be successively more ambitious and prepare and report “Longterm strategies for emission reduction”.
