Regional adaptations to Climate Change (Central Macedonia region)

Context

In 2022-23, The Green European Foundation with the support of the Green Institute Greece is implementing the project “Regional Adaptations to Climate Change”. The project aims to explore Adaptation plans for four Regions in Greece (North Aegean, Thessaly, Central Macedonia, and Peloponnese) in relation to their existing Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plans (PESPKA).

During the next four months, the events will focus on one region at a time, with recommendations on how to improve adaptation plans in the region and share best practices for other European countries facing similar climate impacts.
