Adapting whilst recovering
In recent decades, wildfires have become increasingly frequent and destructive worldwide. To tackle them, a shift in wildfire governance has been advocated: from fighting fire towards a ‘coexisting with fire’ strategy that emphasises fostering long-term, community-led transformations to reduce wildfire risk. This topic has received scant attention, particularly in Southern Europe, a region also grappling with land abandonment and an ageing, dwind…
Coalition Opportunity Structures and Advocacy Coordination in Consensus and Majoritarian Democracies
Research on advocacy coalitions suggests that belief homophily—the tendency of actors to coordinate based on shared policy beliefs—drives coalition formation. However, coalition opportunity structures, which are shaped by institutional contexts, may influence the extent to which belief homophily matters. We argue that coordination dynamics differ between majoritarian and consensus democracies. While majoritarian systems promote moderate norms of …

Wildfire mitigation and adaptation
There is a broad consensus in the academic and policy communities over the need to shift the focus from fire suppression to fire prevention. To inform policies that effectively promote this shift, we distinguish between prevention actions aimed at more fire-resilient landscapes and those focused on the protection of people, i.e., wildfire mitigation and adaptation (WM&A), respectively. With the goal of discussing the usefulness of this distinctio…
Shared Positions on Divisive Beliefs Explain Interorganizational Collaboration
Collaboration between public administration organizations and various stakeholders is often prescribed as a potential solution to the current complex problems of governance, such as climate change. According to the Advocacy Coalition Framework, shared beliefs are one of the most important drivers of collaboration. However, studies investigating the role of beliefs in collaboration show mixed results. Some argue that similarity of general normativ…
Environmental education in Portuguese Speaking Nations
Since the Community of Portuguese Speaking Nations (CPLP) was created in 1996, environmental education (EE) has gained recognition for enhancing multilateral cooperation on environmental protection and sustainability promotion. Conducted online in 2020 in all member states during the COVID-19 pandemic, this second Environmental Education Survey of CPLP explores the conditions and approaches of EE within the overall setting of the 2030 UN Agenda, …
Information exchange networks at the climate science‐policy interface
Scientifically informed climate policymaking starts with the exchange of credible, salient, and legitimate scientific information between scientists and policymakers. It is therefore important to understand what explains the exchange of scientific information in national climate policymaking processes. This article applies exponential random graph models to network data from the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, and Portugal to investigate which …
Justiça climática e as estratégias de adaptação às mudanças climáticas no Brasil e em Portugal

Estariam os atuais instrumentos endereçando a redução de desigualdades, justiça e demanda por direitos? A primeira parte da pesquisa analisa a produção científica no Brasil e em Portugal sobre justiça climática. A segunda parte discute como as estratégias e políticas atuais de adaptação nos dois países contêm c…
Alterações climáticas, avaliação técnica e opinião pública
Tendo em mente o cenário imposto pelas alterações climáticas na Europa, as páginas seguintes procurarão contribuir para fazer um balanço geral da situação nos países ibéricos, no contexto da União Europeia, com dois tipos de dados complementares. Por um lado, dados objetivos assentes no conhecimento técnico-científico, avançados pelo Índice de Desempenho em Alterações Climáticas (CCPI – Climate Change Performance Index). Por outro lado, fazendo u…
Consumption orientations may support (or hinder) transitions to more plant-based diets
From Local Agenda 21 to a localized Agenda 2030 – the Portuguese and Brazilian cases in perspective
This article evaluates the previous experiences of Local Agenda 21 (LA21) in Portugal and Brazil, in order to identify factors hindering implementation and how its legacy might contribute to a localized Agenda 2030. Grounded on comparative analysis of LA21 applied research, it includes questionnaire surveys and a review of reports and action plans, in addition to statements collected from informal interviews with national authorities. LA21 outcom…
The Hegemony of Global Politics
Researching media coverage of climate change may shed light on the different configurations of global and domestic factors affecting journalism and politics. This article analyzes climate change coverage in Portugal from 2007 to 2014 in comparison with 14 other countries. It shows that the Portuguese press tends to reproduce the global political agenda on climate change, mainly focusing on international events associated with global political dec…

Water Scarcity and Human Rights
According to the World Health Organization, in 2014 there were more than 750 million people without adequate access to drinking water and more than 2.5 billion lacked proper sanitation conditions
Making Wishful Thinking a Reality - From SDGS to Cop21
The drive to economic growth has persisted in contemporary societies, despite its effects on the very foundations of the global economy, whereas the discourse of sustainability has not surpassed the level of "wishful thinking". The evolution of the global ecological footprint, which underlines climate change impact, points to a narrow path in the reconciliation of social and environmental imperatives for present and future generations and to a re…
Conflicting Climate Change Frames in a Global Field of Media Discourse
Reducing global emissions will require a global cosmopolitan culture built from detailed attention to conflicting national climate change frames (interpretations) in media discourse. The authors analyze the global field of media climate change discourse using 17 diverse cases and 131 frames. They find four main conflicting dimensions of difference: validity of climate science, scale of ecological risk, scale of climate politics, and support for m…
Generational Gaps and Paradoxes Regarding Electricity Consumption and Saving
In a time of economic crisis the need to adopt energy conservation practices comes to the fore. It is helpful to evaluate the role of young people as both consumers and potential agents of change bridging the gap between school and family to encourage lower household energy consumption. Based on two surveys of parents and students of a secondary school in Lisbon, plus in-depth interviews with parents, this article analyzes the complexity of this …
Socio-Technical and Cultural Approaches to Energy Consumption
Energy consumption inconspicuously bridges nature and culture. Modern societies and cultures depend on intensive energy use from the extraction of natural resources. In fact, the industrialization process required large amounts of energy, but main sources such as oil and coal, have been gradually depleted and found to be heavily polluting the environment. Despite their environmental impacts, these resources have provided cheap and abundant power …
Are we all on the same boat? The challenge of adaptation facing Portuguese coastal communities
The Difficulties of Designing Future Coastlines in the Face of Climate Change
This paper adopts two perspectives. The first is a framing process aimed at defining and examining the conditions for adopting adaptive coastal governance. The second applies to relevant themes of changing coastal policy, central to the testing of adaptive coastal governance, namely cooperative science, risk-sensitive planning, socially fair insurance cover and effective ways to design, finance and engage with local communities over actual coasta…
O desastre nuclear de Fukushima e os seus impactos no enquadramento midiático das tecnologias de fissão e fusão nuclear
O desastre nuclear de Fukushima veio relembrar desastres nucleares anteriores tais como os de Three Miles Island e Chernobyl, trazendo de volta à esfera pública o debate em torno dos problemas de segurança das centrais nucleares. No entanto, enquanto o risco associado à energia nuclear tradicional (fissão) foi amplificado pela mídia, uma nova tecnologia de energia nuclear em investigação (fissão) não foi afetada. Uma comparação entre a cobertura …
Climate change research and policy in Portugal
This article offers a review of research and policy on climate change in Portugal and is organized into three main themes: scientific knowledge and assessment of climate change; policy analysis and evaluation; and public engagement. Modern scientific research on meteorology and climatology started in Portugal in the 1950s and a strong community of researchers in climate science, vulnerabilities, impacts, and adaptation has since developed, partic…
Adapting governance for coastal change in Portugal
Alterações climáticas, sociais e políticas em Portugal
O litoral português é um dos mais ameaçados pela erosão costeira na Europa, um fenômeno que deverá ser agravado pelas alterações climáticas, devido à subida do nível médio do mar e à alteração do regime das ondas na costa atlântica. A par desta fragilidade física, a zona costeira tem sido palco de uma acelerada pressão urbana e turística, que em Portugal se acentuou a partir dos anos 60. Este fenômeno gera uma condição de fragilidade social, que …
