Climate change is expected to significantly alter the operation of the Greek economy, affecting critical productive sectors and creating new challenges as well as opportunities for investment and innovation. The effective adaptation of the Greek economy requires targeted interventions in strategically important sectors, with emphasis on the integration of climate risk into decision-making, the monitoring of relevant indicators, and the use of appropriate financing instruments.
The current project contains a set of studies aiming to formulate an action plan for both mitigation and adaptation to climate change, through an in-depth analysis of six key sectors: agriculture, industry, tourism, households, financial sector, and entrepreneurship. A synthesis report presents the main cross-cutting findings and policy directions.
The project was carried out with the support of the “Protovoulia ’21”, an initiative supported by the most important public benefit foundations in Greece and the National Bank of Greece. The project was specifically funded by the Captain Vassilis and Carmen Constantakopoulos Foundation and the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation. The Climate Change and Sustainability Centre of the Bank of Greece and Accenture contributed to the project.
