The 11 activists on trial have hearings scheduled until Wednesday at the Campus de Justiça, Lisbon.
The environmentalists, aged between 20 and 58, risk prison sentences of more than one year if convicted.
Climáximo activist Matilde Alvim recently told Lusa that "solidarity and resistance activities" are being organised outside the court for the trial days.
Therefore, a solidarity programme is planned that promises to involve and organise the next steps of the movement for climate justice" - the "April Assemblies", said the Climáximo movement, which believes that the 11 people are being tried for fighting for life on the planet.
"We cannot normalise the extreme violence that is the climate crisis. The drought in the Algarve, the millions of people currently displaced, and the thousands of deaths due to the climate crisis. We know that governments and companies continue their plans for destruction. Delegating to them the responsibility for stopping the climate crisis is the same as expecting the dictator to end the dictatorship," warned the movement.
The programme of actions in defence of the climate includes debates on Climáximo's "Disarmament and Peace Plans", lectures and open assemblies to "build the next steps of the movement".
