Abstract(s)
Uma das maiores preocupações ambientais que tem recebido muita atenção da sociedade e que está a incrementar o fenómeno das alterações climáticas prende-se com o aumento das concentrações de CO2 na atmosfera. Na necessidade de combater este problema, foram estabelecidos acordos, como o Protocolo de Quioto e o Acordo de Paris, dos quais surgiram os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). De forma a alcançar esses objetivos, a Carbon Tax constitui-se como uma medida de desincentivo à emissão de gases, através da imposição de um custo sobre as emissões de CO2.
O Exército Português enquanto organização estruturante do Estado, almeja manter-se na vanguarda das questões de desenvolvimento sustentável. Neste sentido, a presente investigação subordinada ao tema Carbon Tax, tem como principal objetivo perceber qual seria o efeito e as consequências deste imposto no Exército Português e, contribuir com medidas que possam melhorar a sustentabilidade da organização.
Para tal, seguindo um raciocínio indutivo, foi utilizada uma estratégia metodológica mista, utilizando como principais técnicas de recolha de dados a análise de documentos, entrevistas, questionários e análise de dados registados pelas diversas Unidades do Exército Português na plataforma SIRCAE.
Os resultados indicam que a Carbon Tax se constituiria como uma medida que fomentaria a conscientização dos membros e influenciaria a práticas mais sustentáveis, melhorando o Exército Português a nível da sustentabilidade, bem como seria um ponto positivo para a imagem institucional.
Assim, foram propostas um conjunto de medidas a serem tomadas de forma a atingir a eficiência e as metas globalmente estabelecidas, nomeadamente, investir em fontes de energias renováveis, em eficiência energética, transformação do parque auto, designação de uma equipa responsável pelo registo e controlo dos consumos, entre outras.
One of the greatest environmental concerns that has received much attention from society and is causing rapid climate changes is the increase in CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere. To combat this problem, agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement have been established, from which the Sustainable Development Goals emerged. To achieve these goals, the Carbon Tax serves as a measure to discourage gas emissions by imposing a cost on CO₂ emissions. The Portuguese Army, as a key state organization, aims to remain at the forefront of sustainable development issues. In this context, the present research, focusing on the Carbon Tax, primarily aims to understand the effects and consequences of this tax on the Portuguese Army and to contribute with measures that can improve the organization's sustainability. To this end, following an inductive reasoning, a mixed methodological strategy was employed, using document analysis, interviews, questionnaires, and analysis of data recorded by various Units of the Portuguese Army on the SIRCAE platform as the main data collection techniques. The results indicate that the Carbon Tax would serve as a measure to foster awareness among members and influence more sustainable practices, improving the Portuguese Army's sustainability level, as well as being a positive point for institutional image. Therefore, a set of measures have been proposed to be taken in order to achieve efficiency and globally established goals, including investing in renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, fleet transformation, designating a team responsible for consumption monitoring and control, among others.
