Lisbon (Portugal)

Lisbon is a Southern European City, inspired by Atlantic winds, where dust from the Sahara and Mediterranean hover in the atmosphere, with near tropical rains in autumn and winter and drought and searing heat in summer.

Lisbon has a unique set of tones: blue reflected from the sky and river; white from the light. And increasingly green, from the city itself.

Lisbon is a city strongly committed to climate goals, being the first capital in Europe to sign the New CoM for Climate and Energy after achieving 50% reductions in CO2 emissions (2002-14), 23% in energy consumption and 17% in water consumption in the municipality (2007-13).

Lisbon now has one of the world’s largest electric vehicle charging point networks with 540 plugs citywide and one third of the municipal car fleet is electric. 100% of the traffic lights in the city are running with LED technology in a recent efficiency transformation.
