Abstract
ARAUJO, Luísa and COELHO, Maria João. Energy and environment public policies: towards a sustainable country?. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2013, n.72, pp.145-158. ISSN 0873-6529. https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2013722622.
In recent decades, energy and environment public policies have acquired an unquestioned strategic and economic importance. In this article, we draw the path of these policies in Portugal over the last 40 years, anchoring the analysis in the international context, particularly in the context of the European Union. The main results of the public policies are displayed and a brief analysis of the strategy to be undertaken by Portugal within its context of economic and financial crisis is presented.
Keywords : public policies; energy; environment; energy dependence; climate changes.
