Emmanuella Doussis, “The road to climate neutrality and just transition in Southern Europe: the case of Greece,” (2022), online (pdf).
This paper aims to present the state-of-the art of the Greek climate policy, map it in the context of the international and European framework and highlight the challenges ahead to achieve just transition and climate neutrality by 2050. It argues that 2021 opens a window of opportunity to deal with the climate crisis better and make progress towards the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the European Green Deal. Hope lies in a green recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and in making climate action part of Covid-19 relief plans. At the same time, relevant stakeholders and society in general need to be effectively engaged in this process not simply through formal consultation processes but through an open and constructive social dialogue that will enable them to co-design sustainable solutions.
