At a meeting entitled Climate Change – New Economic Models organised by the EU Council last Friday, the Portuguese minister for the environment and climate action, João Pedro Matos Fernandes, told participants that “Portugal was the first country in the world to commit itself to carbon neutrality and it firmly believes that we can only create value and grow the economy within the limits of the natural system.”

Guaranteeing that the European Union has the vision, programme and financial instruments to face up to the current crisis, the minister underlined, as holder of the environment portfolio, the five main axes of the Portuguese Presidency: “climate action; the circular economy; zero pollution (including chemicals); biodiversity; and cross-cutting issues”, insisting that “this is the time to deliver a fair, green and digital recovery”.
