2024 is the year of big climate action and policy globally to address climate change and sustainability. One of the biggest is the UN’s push for countries to update their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) before the 2025 climate summit. NDCs 3.0 will set ambitious targets by 2035 to align with 1.5 degrees Celsius.

And the EU has adopted the Nature Restoration Law, a game changer to restore damaged ecosystems and biodiversity across member states. This will have big implications for environmental protection in Europe.

And renewable energy projects are moving fast. Portugal will build its biggest wind farm ever, which will add to the country’s clean energy mix.

This shows we finally get the urgency of climate policies and collective action on environmental issues. As countries meet their climate targets the focus on sustainability and resilience will be key to a better planet.
