The Climate Transition dimension encompasses 6 components focused globally on reducing carbon emissions from the largest sectors (mobility, industry, sea, and built heritage), as well as incorporating more energy from renewable sources.

Effectively, this dimension accounts for 18% of the total amount of the RRP and takes the form of 6 components—8 reforms and 17 structural investments, representing 3.059 billion euros allocated.

• contribute to reducing CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030, in line with the National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNEC 2030) and the Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality; 
• support the creation of a Hub with a network of 7 blue bioeconomy centers; 
• offer wide-reaching support for renovations of residential, public, and service buildings; 
• support the acquisition of clean public transport fleets (roadways - 145 buses) and respective charging/fueling stations; 
• distribute 100,000 vouchers to support efficient energy solutions to families facing energy poverty. 

In addition to the aid allocated directly to Companies, indirect support from public initiatives and contracting is a further source of aid.

The projects to be submitted by Companies must offer a strong, differential impact on the economy and society.

Collaboration among Companies and between the Public and Private sectors will be crucial to maximize fundraising. 

This stimulus in favor of long-term sustainable growth of the Portuguese economy responds simultaneously to the European priority of the double transition to a more ecological and more digital society, which are the main drivers behind the economic and social recovery of the European economy.

After the presentation of the draft of the national Recovery and Resilience Plan in October 2020, followed by the public consultation period held in March this of year, the phase dedicated to providing clarifications and consequent negotiations is currently underway with a view to implement the Plan over the next few months.

The Digital Transition dimension contains significant reforms and investments for the digitization of companies and the state, as well as for providing digital skills in education, health, culture, and forest management.

To ensure that Portugal accelerates the transition to a more digitalized society, the national options in the RRP are based on 5 components in the following areas: digital empowerment and inclusion of people through education, training in digital skills and promotion of digital literacy, digital transformation of the business sector, and digitization of the State.

Measures to support digital objectives amount to 22% of the plan's total allocation, exceeding the 20% threshold defined by European regulations: 12 of the 20 components of the RRP have a direct digital contribution target.
