The International Monetary Fund published in May 2026 a report called C-PIMA (Climate Public Investment Management Assessment), which analyses how Portugal integrates climate change in public investment management.
The report focuses specifically on the incorporation of climate in public investment decisions in Portugal, evaluating the country's existing systems and practices for considering climatic factors.
According to the article, the message conveyed by the IMF is clear: despite the progress already made by Portugal in this area, the country needs to integrate climate change much more systematically in its investment decisions.
The Ministry of Finance appears as the entity responsible for leading this area in Portugal, being the central body in the implementation of the recommendations that may be suggested by the IMF report to improve the climatic management of public investments.
