Ivone Rocha, president of the Platform for Sustainable Growth, presents the “Sustainable Alternative” report, which highlights a dangerous gap between scientific climate requirements and public policy implementation in Portugal. The report advocates for long-termism in governance, the depoliticisation of climate action, and a structural reform of the state to address environmental, technological, and economic crises.

Context & Explainers
Sustainability (sustentabilidade) means meeting present needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet theirs, covering environmental, economic and social dimensions. For residents it affects local planning, jobs and services—look for municipal or company targets, timelines and measurable actions when assessing how sustainable a place or employer is.
