Global warming about to exceed 1.5 degree limit. UN says there is still a way out

CNN Portugal2 September 2026 at 10:22

Global warming is about to exceed the critical limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to UN alerts. The organization states, however, that there is still a possibility of reversing this trajectory.

The United Nations agency warns that, once this limit is exceeded, climate impacts will not be linear, but will multiply with each additional fraction of a degree of temperature.

The article does not specify which specific measures the UN proposes to avoid exceeding this threshold, but the tone of the alert indicates urgency in adopting immediate climate actions.

The information comes in the context of scientific reports that have consistently monitored the increase in global temperatures and their effects on the planet.

Recreational bivalve fishing banned in the international stretch of the Minho river from November

Recreational bivalve fishing will be prohibited in the international stretch of the Minho river from 1 November 2026, for public health reasons, until a management plan is approved. The notice, published in the Official Gazette for the 2026/2027 season, establishes that all harvesting of clams and any other bivalves is prohibited, as the ITM (International Stretch of the Minho River) is not a production area monitored by IPMA. Although commercial harvesting had never been permitted, recreational harvesting was previously allowed. The permanent management committee of the ITM is making efforts to create a monitoring and verification plan for the condition of bivalves.

Pias creates "Lavadeira", a project that recovers the memory of the past to serve the present

The Junta de Freguesia of Pias inaugurated LAVADEIRA, a community self-service laundromat with an investment of around 50 thousand euros. The facility, which operates every day from 08:00 to 20:00, arose from identifying a need of the local population, particularly for washing and drying larger items. The name evokes the tradition of the washerwomen who washed clothes in the streams, and a mural by artist Cláudio Preguiça, called "The Washerwomen", transforms the space into a tribute to the women who performed this task, linking past and present.
