European Climate Pact pressures Gaia to develop Municipal Climate Action Plan

SAPO Notícias4 September 2026 at 13:15

The European Climate Pact is pressuring the Vila Nova de Gaia City Council to develop a Municipal Climate Action Plan. According to the Pact's rules, signatory municipalities are required to develop and implement these action plans to address climate change.

According to the ambassador of the European Climate Pact, Gaia's City Council has been in legal non-compliance since 2023. This situation places the municipality in a delicate position regarding the commitments made at the European level.

Gaia's own citizens have expressed concern about the absence of a municipal climate action plan. This population mobilization highlights the growing environmental awareness of residents and the expectation that local authorities will act concretely.

Gaia's case arises in the broader context of meeting European climate objectives, where municipalities play a fundamental role in implementing mitigation and adaptation measures to climate change.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.
