Recently, reported long-term climate change consequences, such as rising temperatures and melting glaciers, have emphasized mitigation adaptation actions. While moderating the severity of changes, precautionary human actions can also protect natural environment societies. Furthermore, public private collaboration leverage resources expertise, resulting in more impactful for effective responses. A coordinated strategic approach is necessary order to prioritize these across different scales,...

This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the effects climate change on Greek agriculture, by evaluating and refining current policy measures interventions address them through lens funding opportunities new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2023–2027. To this end, we conducted diagnostic strategic framework in Greece provided recommendations around five key areas: education, consulting services, agri-food cooperation, coupling innovation, digitalization, as well risk management...

Abstract The scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that human activity plays a significant role in the changes to world's climate, and it is crucial take adaptive actions mitigate impacts of these changes. Effective climate adaptation requires raising awareness among variety key stakeholders, such as executives staff public private sectors, while assessing incentives they undertake allowing them act at various levels engagement, ranging from global local. aim this study was investigate...

The current regulatory context for the energy sector and in which Energy Communities operate is fragmented unclear most EU countries. Although some initiatives have existed Northern Europe time, this concept considered relatively new. Indeed, legislation has only recently recognised through Directives 2018/2001 2019/944. In framework of Erasmus+ project EU-NETs (Grant Number KA220-VET-62435110), qualitative research gathered information regarding adaptability applicability directives within...

The main aim of this study is the identification most appropriate measures and policies to combat particulate air pollution in city Thessaloniki, Greece through a methodology including calculation emissions by sector application an quality modeling system. current situation showed that exceedances mean PM10 daily levels occur during cold winter months with residential heating being major contributor representing 73% share total emissions. Moreover, effect biomass consumption for purposes on...

Under the Paris Agreement, countries must articulate their most ambitious mitigation targets in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) every five years and regularly submit interconnected information on greenhouse gas (GHG) aspects, including national GHG inventories, NDC progress tracking, policies measures (PAMs), projections various scenarios. Research highlights significant gaps definition of reporting GHG-related elements, such as inconsistencies between projections, targets, a...

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact COVID-19 pandemic on carbon footprint (CF) two research projects. These projects were initiated prior onset and subsequently concluded afterward, serving as Base Case (BC) for analysis. Furthermore, seeks explore potential applicability measures implemented during period lockdown future mitigation CF. applied methodology, which adheres guidelines provided by GHG Protocol Department Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) emission...

In the chemical industry and in manufacturing sector, adsorption properties of porous materials have been proven to be great interest for removal impurities from liquid gas media. While it is acknowledged that significant progress literature production developed this field, there studies failed further advance our knowledge generating a better understanding prevailing sorption types dominant processes. Therefore, review study has focused on materials, their properties, investigating at...

The reliance on petroleum derivatives and the increasing trend of fuel consumption in transport sector have brought attention to biofuels as a measure reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhance energy security boost economic development. incentive for utilizing is their potential carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compared fossil fuels. Biofuels are considered be carbon-neutral, regarding direct CO2 associated with combustion, grounds that absorbed by plants through photosynthesis equivalent...

To meet Greece’s commitments under the Kyoto Protocol (KP) and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it’s crucial to dissect primary influencers of its greenhouse gas emissions. This study utilized logarithmic mean Divisia index method in additive form delve into main drivers behind carbon dioxide emissions Greece from 1996 2020. The analysis revealed that catalyst for rise CO2 was growth GDP. Conversely, advancements energy efficiency, as indicated by a decrease intensity,...

As more economies are transitioning away from fossil fuels for their electricity production and towards greener alternatives, many socioeconomic implications of this shift remain actively debated. The present paper attempts to assess the economic impact investments in renewable energy sources (RESs) Greece whether broader effects transition can offset negative that will occur due targeted phase-out lignite plants by 2028, which constitute predominant power source Greece. Our methodological...

Lockdown restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic led air, road and marine traffic limitations as well of economic activities causing thus considerable reductions air pollutant emissions quality levels.This paper aims at studying impact these restrictions, pandemic, on atmospheric concentrations in Greater Area Athens, Greece.Air emission levels containment measures were calculated related from six monitoring stations.Findings showed significant road, reductions, ranging 20 90%.In analysis...

The quantification of the effect climate change mitigation actions is avery useful exercise that can be used to meet a variety objectives, such asinforming policy design, enhancing implementation, assessing policyeffectiveness, justifying budget allocation, and attracting finance. Itis also reporting requirement according framework theUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) andthe Monitoring Mechanism Regulation European Union (EU) aboutclimate relevant information....

Urban regeneration projects must address the growing challenges posed by climate change to ensure creation of sustainable, resilient,and livable urban environments. This work proposes a comprehensive and collaborative framework incorporate updated information into process, focusing on transformation school yards in Greece. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach involving planners, scientists, policymakers,and local communities. outlined this emphasizes importance integrating...
