Green Deal in Greece

In July 2021, the European Commission presented the Green Deal, which aims to make the European Union climate neutral by 2050. The vision of the Green Deal calls for zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, economic growth disconnected from resource use, and real inclusion so that no people and no region are left behind. In the dossier we have created, you will find a wealth of material on how the European Green Deal can be tailored to the Greek context. It is a fruitful dialogue around this strategy, the opportunities as well as the challenges entailed in its implementation in Greece.

European Green Deal Risk Radar

The European Green Deal Risk Radar is a watchdog initiative created by the Heinrich Böll Foundation - Brussels Office, which analyses the state of play of the 13 most important EU laws of the European Green Deal and identifies – in 13 scorecards – the potential risks these EU laws face in view of being delayed, undermined or even withdrawn. It also shows the benefits that these EU laws offer and provide a timeline highlighting when potential risks and windows of opportunity are likely to emerge.

The 13 scorecards cover these legislative files: Cars CO₂ standards, Deforestation Regulation, Effort Sharing Regulation, Electricity Market Reform, ETS2, ETS2 (building & road transport), Energy Taxation Directive, European Climate Law, Gas Market Reform, Governance Regulation, Nature Restoration Law, Pesticides Regulation, and Renewable Energy Directive.
