Prime Minister: Greece fully supports EU targets to fight climate changeMitsotakis addreses UN Climate Summit

Greece is prepared to do its part to face the global threat of climate change by proposing a radical overhaul of its economic model, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday, in his address to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP25) taking place in Madrid, ANA reports.

"Three-quarters of all emissions come from just 12 countries - which are not even present here.  Greece is not one of them.  But we are assuming our fair share of responsibility by proposing a radical overhaul of our economic model.  We fully support the ambitious targets set by the European Union to limit global temperature rise within 1.5 degrees," Mitsotakis announced.

He stressed that protecting the marine, natural and cultural environment was a priority for Greece and once again referred to a Greek initiative for protecting cultural heritage from the ravages of the climate crisis.
