Ecology & Economy

Heinrich-Böll-Foundation is aiming to support people in realizing their visions and actions towards a sustainable, social and ecological society through the transformation of the economy and the enabling of people to live an independent life through their own work, both now and in the future. This form of sustainable development is possible in Greece too. Through the Green New Deal, which aims at a green industrial revolution, many new jobs can be created in sectors such as sustainable energy production, green means of  mobility and transportation or sustainable waste management. At the regional and local level, citizens are in search of new forms of cooperation and synergies in the form of social economy and social cooperatives. The Heinrich-Böll-Foundation in Greece aims to foster the emerging socio-ecological and participatory spirit which contributes to Greece’s exit from the crisis through publications, films, trainings, open discussions and conferences and by strengthening cooperation between municipalities, organisations and civil society initiatives making the best of its european and international partner network.
