Abstract
This research examines the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia conflict on Portugal and
Spain's national energy and climate plans. Both countries have
updated their plans in response to these events, emphasizing
energy efficiency, renewable energy investment, and circular
economy principles. Portugal focused on addressing energy
poverty and digitalization, while Spain accelerated its energy
transition to align with the European Green Deal. Additionally,
the Ukraine-Russia conflict prompted measures to enhance
energy security and NECPs in both countries. Through a semisystematic literature review spanning 2020–2023, our study
analyzes how these global events shaped national energy and
climate plans. The case studies of Portugal and Spain highlight
the importance of flexibility and resilience in crafting sustainable
energy strategies during such a complex crisis.
