Abstract

Given the current global context, where the pandemic, war and climate change are a reality, the aim of this study is to get to know the Portuguese population’s perception of their quality of life, emotional and social skills and empathic capacity, and to assess the impact of current events on these various domains. To this end, a questionnaire survey was applied via the Google forms platform and disseminated on social media. The aim of this study is to identify the factors and areas of greatest vulnerability in order to propose social and political strategies capable of mitigating them and strengthening resilience to this type of environment.
