Portugal at COP28.

A small country with big numbers, one might say. Be that in climate goals, clean energy achievements or pioneer technologies.

You see, size is nothing next to ambition.

The same ambition that, despite it all, still leaves us to wonder:

A question to which, to be honest, we already know the answer: no, not even close.

Because being the first and the best is not enough.

You see, ambition is nothing if you’re all alone.

So, let’s do more than enough: let’s work together to make the world a better place.
