Search for:
Environment and Energy Minister Kostas Skrekas will present on Tuesday in the Parliament the axes of the strategy of a transition to a climate-neutral economy, which include, among other things, the energy upgrade of 600,000 homes by 2030.
Skrekas will make his presentation at a joint meeting of the Production and Trade Committees, the Standing Committee on Economic Affairs, the Special Standing Committee on Environmental Protection and the Special Standing Committee on European Affairs.
A main point of the strategy is the elaboration of a new energy plan, based on the decisions of the European Council that set even more ambitious targets for 2030, in terms of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, to which Greece is called to respond.
With a law that will define specific obligation for ministries and public bodies but also the participation of citizens and the scientific community in the formulation of actions for environmental protection, the government is seeking to tackle climate change.
The law is along the lines of standards of other European countries in the drafting of the climate law, raising even higher the targets for the reduction of the emissions of the greenhouse gaseous pollutants, in relation to the current National Plan for Energy and Climate (ESEK). The new revised limits are now mandatory and are set for 2030, 2040, and 2050. In 30 years from today, the goal is zero greenhouse gas emissions.
