The most important tool to achieve this goal is the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (Directive 2012/27/EU) (EED), which came into force in December 2012. Increasing energy efficiency is a key factor in meeting future challenges at both national and European level. Reducing energy demand and focusing on improving energy efficiency are a key goal of Greece in fulfilling its European commitments. In November 2016, the EU proposed further strengthening this important energy policy area beyond 2020 by setting a binding 30 % energy efficiency target at EU level by 2030. Since December 2014, Greece has presented its strategy for improving energy efficiency with a series of actions and a mix of policy measures in the 3rd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP). Energy efficiency policy measures reduce energy costs to final consumers, contribute to the safety of energy supply, competitiveness, sustainability of the national economy and job creation, as well as to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Improving energy efficiency along with energy savings are key pillars for the energy transition of Greece to the path to growth, despite the current difficult economic environment. This NEEAP evaluates the already defined policy measures of the previous one, and details the policy measures for the period 2015 to date, including the planned policy measures for the period 2017-2020. The set of measures presented in this 4th NEEAP is presented in the form of tables and is qualitatively evaluated. The presentation and structure of its content is mainly based on the format provided by the EU for the submission of the NEEAP. At the same time as the National Indicative Energy Efficiency Target for the year 2020, set in the 3rd NEEAP, which involves achieving a final energy consumption of 18.4 Mtoe in 2020, the same chapter contains an estimate of the potential total consumption of primary energy in Greece in 2020, as well as specific energy targets (Table 1). Moreover, the savings for the period 2007-2015 are estimated, the energy saving target for 2016 according to the 1st NEEAP has already been achieved and the energy savings achieved in 2015 are twice the 2016 target. Page 6 [NATIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY ACTION PLAN] The following Chapter V describes the alternative measures adopted in accordance with Article 7 of the EED and also describes the adoption and implementation of the energy efficiency obligation scheme from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020, which ensures that energy distributors and/or retailers defined as obligated parties operating in the Greek territory will achieve a specific cumulative end-use energy savings target. Furthermore, the following sections provide additional information on horizontal measures to meet specific obligations stipulated in the Energy Efficiency Directive, the obligation for an energy audit, measurement and pricing measures, the implementation of programmes and actions to consumers, the obligation to apply qualification and certification systems, the operation and development of energy services, including other horizontal energy efficiency measures, which do not fall under Article 7 and either have already been or will be adopted for the implementation of Articles 19 and 20 of the EED. The next section covers the energy efficiency measures for buildings. Reference is made to the integration of pending institutional issues as well as to the long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national building stock. Section 3 describes the energy efficiency measures for public buildings that have been completed or are underway, both by the central public administration and by all other public bodies, and with regard

  • An Overview of the Land Subsidence Phenomena Occurring in Greece, Triggered by the Overexploitation of the Aquifers for Irrigation and Mining Purposes
    Tenth International Symposium on Land Subsidence (TISOLS) Proc. IAHS, 382, 321–326, 2020 https://doi.org/10.5194/piahs-382-321-2020 Open Access © Author(s) 2020.

An overview of the land subsidence phenomena occurring in Greece, triggered by the overexploitation of the aquifers for irrigation and mining purposes Constantinos Loupasakis School of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, 157 80 Athens, Greece Correspondence: Constantinos Loupasakis ([email protected]) Published: 22 April 2020 Abstract. Land subsidence caused by overexploitation of aquifers manifests with an increasing frequency in several regions of Greece. The first signs of land subsidence have been identified since 1965 at the west side of Thessaloniki (broader Kalochori village region), in the form of a progressive marine invasion. Since then several areas have been investigated and proved to be affected mainly by the overexploitation of the aquifers. The Multi- disciplinary nature of the subsidence mechanism combining the geological, hydrogeological and morphological setting of the areas with the human activities and the land use data makes their study complicated and require the intervention of multiple scientific specialties. Furthermore, at several sites, beside ground truth data, the land subsidence trends and extends have been also identified via multi-temporal InSAR techniques, such as PSI and SBAS techniques. Among the sites to be presented in the current paper is the wider area of Kalochori village in the eastern part of Thessaloniki plain, the east and west Thessaly plain in central Greece and the region extending to the west–southwest of the Amyntaio opencast coalmine in West Macedonia.

  • Northern Greece So Far, the Four Nal Properties Worldwide
    a picture map is included Gastronomy Routes and the culture of Flavours... “The gentle art of gastronomy is a friendly one… it surpasses the language barrier, creates new friendships among civilized people and warms the heart”. Samuel Chamberlain What is “Food Travel” or “Culinary Tourism”? Who can be described as a “Food Traveler” or “Gastro-Tourist”? Nowadays, new tourism products are launched regularly: some are new venues for already existing interests while others are new products that address the demands of new niche-markets. For others, as observed in culinary tourism, it is not so much a new product but rather a focus on recognizing something that already exists, refining and improving the pursuit and enjoyment of unique food and drink experi- ences, both far and near to us! Many governments and local administration authorities throughout the world are turning to tourism initiatives not only to breathe new life into stagnating economies but also to address the grave problem of rural depopulation. Culinary tourism in rural settings holds promise as a potential springboard for rural economies to blossom…! The transaction cooperation network “Gastronomy Routes and the Culture of Flavors” involves 18 Local Action Groups which originate from four Medi- terranean countries, namely Italy, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus. The core and most crucial objective of the “Medeat” cooperation is to suc- ceed in maintaining and promoting the historical, cultural and qualitative dimensions of local cuisine, in a way that also connects it to local indus- tries, cultural events and supplementary tourist activities. This gastronomic guide presents the most interesting gastronomic itinerar- ies of the territory of Kilkis – Imathia – Kozani – Florina, in Greece, as well as practical information concerning the relative places to visit with local produce, food processing units, alternative accommodation premises and similar issues.

Copyright 2009 by Risto Stefov e-book edition 2 PREFACE Very little has been written about the Macedonians in Greece and their involvement in World War II and in the Greek Civil War. Macedonians who live in Greece to this day are afraid to speak of their terrible ordeals for fear of repercussions from the Greek authorities or because it is simply too painful for them to remember. To this day it is taboo in Greece to speak of the Greek Civil War. The Macedonians in Greece it seems have been ignored by all sides. Yugoslavia has ignored them because it did not want to ruin its good relations with Greece. Greece on the other hand, to this day claims that Macedonians simply do not exist and wants no part of them. Bulgaria, even though it has a large Macedonian immigrant population from Greece, has yet to recognize the Macedonian people as a distinct ethnic group. So in reality no one really cares about the Macedonians in Greece and as a result very little to nothing has been written about them. “Indeed, the Macedonians in Greece are hardly ever mentioned in scholarly literature and have been virtually forgotten as a people and as a national minority.” (Andrew Rossos) This is most unfortunate not only because the Macedonian contribution to the struggle against Fascism and Nazism has been completely omitted, but because the Macedonian people themselves living in Greece despite their contributions, have been completely ignored as if they didn’t exist.
