Coimbra is a historic city in central Portugal, located along the Mondego River and known for its university, cultural heritage and strong academic and research community. The city has a Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence, experiencing increasingly hot summers, periods of drought and more intense rainfall events linked to climate change.
As a compact urban centre with a large student population and a strong knowledge economy, Coimbra’s climate transition is closely connected to innovation, mobility and urban liveability. Managing emissions from buildings and transport, while adapting public spaces and infrastructure to rising temperatures, are key priorities for the city.
Coimbra is working to strengthen sustainable mobility, improve energy efficiency and expand renewable energy use, while also investing in greener and more climate-resilient urban environments. Nature-based solutions, water management and the protection of biodiversity are increasingly integrated into planning and public space design. Collaboration with universities and research institutions plays an important role in developing and testing new approaches.
By linking climate action with research, education and urban quality of life, Coimbra is building a model that combines historic identity with forward-looking transformation. Through cooperation across sectors and communities, the city is advancing its pathway towards climate neutrality and long-term resilience.
