In the second half of the 2000s, Portugal streamlined and strengthened energy- and climate change-related goals and measures and began to make more extensive use of quantitative targets and indicators to track progress. It developed a comprehensive National Climate Change Programme (PNAC), a National Allocation Plan for Emission Allowances (PNALE) under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Portuguese Carbon Fund (FPC) to meet its national Kyoto Protocol commitment. Portugal also reinforced inter-institutional co-ordination and monitoring of climate change actions, including the establishment of the Climate Change Commission’s Executive Committee.
