«Stop Green Washing»
«As 2025 comes to a close, our stories this year have captured both the progress made on our shared global agenda and the challenges that continue to test our collective resolve. This week, our annual year-ender 20 brands called out for greenwashing highlights the rise of "greenrinsing" – where companies set ambitious climate targets to attract investment, only to weaken, delay or quietly abandon them later. While efforts to improve transparency and accountability gained momentum in several jurisdictions, the story also traces how carbon capture technologies and “clean” gas narratives have been used to justify continued fossil fuel expansion, underscoring the gap between climate pledges and real-world outcomes. Meanwhile, East Asia this week provided stories of progress. In Japan, cities are expanding food waste vending machines that sell unsold bakery items at a discount – a small but creative way to cut emissions and waste. In South Korea, authorities announced plans to ban labels on bottled water from 2026, a significant policy move aimed at reducing plastic waste at scale. We also looked at a recent report that revealed Singapore continued to reinforce its role as Southeast Asia’s green start-up hub, even as infrastructure and financing gaps persist. The region pushed ahead of the US and Europe in electric vehicle adoption, while shifting energy investments highlighted the evolving power landscape. Elsewhere, Taiwan delayed a pioneering ocean thermal energy project over deep-sea environmental concerns, and the Philippines secured major blue-economy financing to support marine protection. This marks our last Insights newsletter of 2025, and we want to thank you for being our readers and supporting our work throughout the year. We will continue to publish interesting year-enders for the rest of the month, and we'll be back in January to continue our mission of providing you with the latest news and analyses in sustainable development. From our team to yours, we wish you a joyful festive season and a Happy New Year!». |

«No princípio, uma questão: quão pesada é uma cidade? Ao longo de três anos, muitas outras inquietações somaram-se à pergunta que deu o título à 7.ª Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa, como: Quem mede? Como é que a vida está a mudar o planeta? As cidades são sedimentos? A quem pertence a informação? Qual é o peso de uma fronteira? Como é que somos uma força geológica? Quem transforma as cidades?»

«No princípio, uma questão: quão pesada é uma cidade?
Ao longo de três anos, muitas outras inquietações somaram-se à pergunta que deu o título à 7.ª Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa, como: Quem mede? Como é que a vida está a mudar o planeta? As cidades são sedimentos? A quem pertence a informação? Qual é o peso de uma fronteira? Como é que somos uma força geológica? Quem transforma as cidades?
Uma centena de perguntas distribuídas em três exposições centrais, mais de uma dezena de projetos independentes, instalações, performances, conferências, prémios, atividades e um livro. 270 anos depois do Grande Terramoto de 1755, o mundo convergiu em Lisboa para debater o seu futuro, transformando esta cidade no epicentro da arquitetura global durante setenta dias.
No rescaldo da Trienal 2025, à derradeira pergunta: e agora, o que fica?, respondemos com uma coligação de investigação, ativismo e diálogo, numa rede de conhecimento que se expande para lá da temporalidade desta edição.
Agradecemos a participantes, agentes e entidades culturais que estiveram connosco, parceiros, equipa, assistentes, jornalistas, docentes, estudantes e milhares de visitantes o contributo para responder a estas questões.
Agora, preparamos uma programação recheada para o próximo triénio, já de olhos postos na 8.ª Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa, no outono de 2028.
Ainda pode visitar as três exposições centrais:
Lighter, no MAC/CCB
até 04 de janeiro
—terça-feira a domingo: 10:00 → 18:30
Spectres, no MUDE
até 11 de janeiro

Relatório 2025 da Gallery Climate Coalition _ «A indústria das artes visuais pode acabar com o carbono: basta querer, indica relatório pioneiro»
De lá
Launch of the GCC Stocktake Report 2025
25 Nov 2025
2025 marks a pivotal moment for the visual arts sector. We are five years into the decisive decade - the period in which urgent climate action is essential - and at the midpoint of GCC’s ten-year strategy. To mark this milestone, we are proud to launch the GCC Stocktake Report 2025, a comprehensive assessment of the sector’s progress on climate action and the road ahead to 2030.
The Stocktake brings together six years of data and insights, drawn from the GCC Carbon Calculator, qualitative research, and engagement with organisations across the sector. It provides the clearest picture yet of where we stand, the systemic and behavioural shifts required, and the opportunities to accelerate meaningful change.
What you’ll find inside
- Headline insights on sector-wide emissions, reduction pathways, and the limits of carbon data alone
- Case studies of organisations leading the way in embedding climate action into core operations
- Analysis of the trends and signals that show the sector approaching a tipping point, where isolated efforts begin to align into collective transformation
- An honest assessment of the barriers slowing progress, from structural constraints to capacity gaps
- Forward-looking guidance on the systemic and behavioural shifts required to meet 2030 targets
- Targeted recommendations to help organisations act with greater speed, confidence, and impact
This mid-decade checkpoint is sobering but galvanising. The world is increasingly likely to overshoot the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement, underscoring the urgency of accelerating sector-wide action. Yet the Stocktake also demonstrates that the visual arts community is already embedding environmental responsibility into culture, strategy, and decision-making.
We invite everyone in the sector - organisations, artists, funders, and policymakers - to explore the report, reflect on the findings, and act together to seize this tipping point. The Stocktake is not just a record of progress; it’s a call to action to transform insight into collective impact.

a propósito
de lá:
«(...) O primeiro relatório do progresso da indústria das artes visuais na redução para metade das emissões com efeito de estufa até 2030 mostra que cerca de 80% dos membros da Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) que estão a medir a sua pegada ambiental já a reduziram em mais de 25%. O GCC 2025 Stocktake Report, divulgado no fecho da COP30 — Cimeira do Clima das Nações Unidas, envia uma mensagem clara: se o mundo da arte replicasse estas medidas à escala global, poderia reduzir as suas emissões anuais “em mais de cinco milhões de toneladas de CO₂, o equivalente à pegada anual de um pequeno país”. Em Portugal, a única entidade que comprovou estar a implementar estas práticas responsáveis é a Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.(...)».

«Amazon Assessment Report 2025 _ CONNECTIVITY OF THE AMAZON FOR A LIVING PLANET»
Mais
«The Amazon is under threat from deforestation, environmental degradation, and climate change, with changes happening at unprecedented rates. The conservation of the Amazon requires an integrated, transdisciplinary approach that considers the region’s deep interconnections—across geological systems, climate systems, ecosystems, peoples, and governance systems—to shape an effective, inclusive path forward through sustainable development. This assessment report aims to provide science-based, actionable solutions that can conserve and restore healthy Amazonian environments, societies, and economies. We focus on maintaining and restoring the region’s ecological and sociocultural connectivity, which is defined as the interconnectedness within and between ecological and social systems and depends on the flow and movement of species, resources, information, and people. Eight dimensions of ecological and sociocultural connectivity are highlighted, along with some of the current solutions and innovative interventions being created, developed, and implemented by diverse actors across various spatial and temporal scales. We hope to inspire our readers to look for long-term solutions that are scalable, fair, just, and appropriate for our vision of a living Amazon».
