The Greek Way to De-Carbonisation: a Success Law Story Dr. Ioannis N. Tzortzis President of JTDP Legal Experts Committee, Ministry of Environment and Energy Attorney at Law at the Supreme Court, Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE) The Greek way to de-carbonisation: A success law story How to create major investment opportunities by drafting law out of the box 23 MARCH 2021 The main goal of Greece As a key part of the National Energy & Climate Plan, the Greek government is clearly committed to decommission all lignite power plants by 2028, with the majority expected to take place by 2023 The goal is to support the transition of local economies and employment and minimize the associated social and environmental impact during this process 2 Greece with local (captive) mines is more depended per capita on lignite & affected by the transition than any other EU country Coal mining is concentrated in just a few areas of the EU Possible negative impact on EU local employment 53 thous. employment positions in coal power plants Mostly affected countries (of which 1.1 thous. in Italy & 1.4 thous. in Spain) Germany 450 118 thous. employment positions in coal mines thous. (of which 3.4 thous. in Spain) The Czech Republic 215 thous. indirect EU employment positions Poland related to coal (of which 2.2 thous. in Italy & 5.2 thous. in Spain) Romania Possible negative impact on EU local communities Bulgaria The coal areas are already lagging behind compared to the rest, with regard to GDP per capita Greece • -2% GDP1 areas with coal power plants • -8% GDP1 areas with coal mines 1.

However, a key part of the National Energy and Climate Plan is to gradually phase out the use of lignite, which includes the decommissioning of all existing lignite units by 2023, except the Ptolemaida V unit, which will be closed by 2028. This plan makes Greece a frontrunner among countries who intensively use lignite in energy production. In this context, this paper investigates the environmental, economic, and social state of Megalopolis and the related perspectives with regard to the energy transition, through the elaboration of a SWOT analysis, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the municipality of Megalopolis and the regional unit of Arcadia.

  • Comparing Flood Mortality in Portugal and Greece

Pereiraa, , M. Diakakisb, G. Deligiannakisc, J.L. Zêzerea a Centre for Geographical Studies, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, Universidade de Lisboa, 1600-276 Lisboa, Portugal b Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment, School of Sciences, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece c Mineralogy – Geology Laboratory, Department of Natural Resources Management and Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural University of Athens, 11855 Athens, Greece ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: For the first time flood mortality is analysed and compared between a Western (Portugal) and an Eastern Flood mortality Mediterranean country (Greece). Flood fatalities are examined and compared in terms of frequency, temporal Individual risk evolution, spatial distribution, deadliest flood types, gender of the victims, circumstances surrounding fatalities, Societal risk and individual and societal risk. Portugal A common flood fatalities database was formed for the period 1960–2010 by merging the DISASTER database Greece for Portugal and the Greek database Individual flood cases generated more deaths in Greece than in Portugal (excluding an outlier flash flood event in the latter). Despite some fluctuations evidence of a gradual decrease in fatality numbers were recorded for both countries. Since the 1980's the number of flood cases with multiple fatalities has been gradually declining, due to changes in qualitative characteristics of mortality. Flood fatalities predominantly occur during autumn in Greece and during winter in Portugal.
