Greece environmental sustainability and management
Overview
Greece is implementing various initiatives focused on environmental sustainability, waste management, and climate neutrality.
In early September, the Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and Water (RAEW) held a seminar in Thessaloniki regarding the circular economy and its role in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Discussions highlighted how recycling and resource recovery can support strategic autonomy by reducing reliance on imported raw materials. Concurrently, the Municipality of Ioannina sought inspections to address industrial pollution concerns in the Pedini area, aiming to use urban planning to relocate problematic industries.
Later in the month, regional efforts shifted toward community engagement and sustainable mobility. The Regional Unit of Drama organized a ‘Cycling Day’ to promote eco-friendly transportation, while the Municipality of Piraeus hosted a recycling festival featuring educational workshops and interactive activities to encourage environmental awareness.
