Alliance for Climate Leadership for Actionable Sustainability Solutions
A+CLASS – the Alliance for Climate Leadership for Actionable Sustainability Solutions – is a collaborative project that brings together the cities of Guimarães, Lisbon and Porto to strengthen the leadership of Portuguese cities in the transition to climate neutrality.
Climate Solutions at the service of Cities and Communities
This project aims to create a digital monitoring and decision-support platform capable of tracking the progress of urban climate action in real time. This tool will enable cities to measure emissions, assess the impact of public policies and business actions, and address the current information gap that exists in urban climate data.
