Goals / Remit
At the end of 2015, ZERO was founded based in the common interest of about one hundred people working to achieve sustainable development in Portugal. Our DNA demonstrates the ambition to intervene in Portuguese society through a proactive participation in the defence of sustainability values, because we understand that only through the balance between environment, society and economy will it be possible to build a more cohesive, social and economic world, in full respect for the natural limits of the planet. ZERO intervention is based on solid ideas and a permanent dialogue with the different key players to achieve goals such as:
ZERO fossil fuels
ZERO pollution
ZERO waste of resources
ZERO destruction of ecosystems and biodiversity
ZERO social and economic inequalityMain EU files targeted
ZERO follows the policies, initiatives and legislative files in several areas, highlighting energy (Clean Energy Package), climate change (2030 and 2050 targets, ETS, ESR), noise/air quality, circular economy, chemicals, waste and transport (CO2 emissions, taxation, e-mobility, fossil vs. clean fuels), biodiversity, agriculture, forest, water and oceans.
