Environmental Projects Contributing to Sustainable Development and Climate Change Mitigation: A Green Future for Greece

Environmental projects that contribute to sustainable development, biodiversity protection, and addressing the impacts of climate change are crucial steps toward a “green” future for our country.

Initiatives such as wetland restoration, upgrading water resource management systems, and safeguarding biodiversity in critical areas of Greece have been made possible thanks to the support of an “invisible donor” that has been contributing to the country for 30 years.
