Portugal launches 22.6 billion euro resilience plan

Portugal launched a $26.5 billion (22.6 billion euro) investment program on Tuesday to upgrade national infrastructure over the next nine years. The plan follows a power outage that began in Spain and affected most of Portugal exactly a year ago, as well as severe storms that hit central mainland Portugal earlier this year. This initiative addresses critical infrastructure vulnerabilities in energy grids, institutions, and businesses to counter growing threats tied to climate, energy, seismic activity, and cybersecurity.
