GREECE AND ITS GLOBAL WARMING FIGHT!
Greece’s biodiversity is largely attributed to its forest ecosystems, which cover 42% of the country. However, climate change threatens these ecosystems, particularly endemic species. Greece’s climate policy aims for a zero-carbon society by 2050, aiming to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Greece is grappling with climate change, causing frequent extreme weather events like droughts, flooding, wildfires, and sea level rise. The Mediterranean country faces increased temperatures, reduced rainfall, and wildfires, affecting landscapes and biodiversity. Greece’s National Climate Law aims to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050.
Greece has taken several actions to help with climate change, including:
Greece is addressing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy production, reducing coal, diesel, and lignite use. The country has passed its first climate law and committed to net-zero emissions by 2050. Greece’s National Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change provides information on past, present, and future impacts on water resources, biodiversity, ecosystems, and health.
