Description
Greece has made significant progress in addressing environmental concerns over the past decade. The country has implemented reforms to reduce air pollutant emissions and improve conservation of natural habitats, but challenges remain in managing waste and water, as well as addressing air pollution. The impact of climate change poses a major threat to Greece, with its energy mix shifting towards cleaner fuels but still relying heavily on fossil fuels. To achieve sustainable development, effective policies are needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change, strengthen environmental governance, and align environmental policies with those in other sectors such as transport, agriculture, and tourism. This third Environmental Performance Review of Greece evaluates progress towards sustainable development and green growth, focusing on climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable use.
