Climate change
Cascais, a small municipality outside Lisbon, has committed to making itself carbon neutral. As part of this effort, twenty-five municipal buildings are subject to real-time monitoring of energy flows. Cascais will also be the focus of a rigorous scientific study to examine how climate change may affect water resources, coastal zones, fisheries, agriculture, human health and impacts on tourism, energy, forestry and biodiversity.
