This timeline offers a glimpse into our project team members’ presence at climate activism sites. It is not intended to capture the full extent of climate activism in Portugal, but we do highlight the groups that organized or participated in these events.
The protests shown here are not always solely focused on climate issues (e.g., housing rights), but environmental, sustainability, and ecological concerns are frequently mentioned, highlighting the intersectionality of climate activism.
All photos were taken by team members, who have granted copyright permission.
