Beyond Destruction

PUBLICATION
In 2023, Greece was hit by a series of devastating natural disasters. Wildfires and floods claimed many lives and left behind destroyed homes, devastated landscapes and entire communities plunged into loss and uncertainty. Documentary photographer Ilir Tsouko and writer Anja Troelenberg took a long field trip to the affected areas a few months after the disasters and documented not only the despair but also the hope; not only the disaster but also the resilience. The outcome of this project is, among other things, this publication.

Green Deal in Greece

DOSSIER
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.
