Managing the climate crisis is one of the most important issues European rescue plan<\/strong>It's for Greece.<\/p>\n

An extended spell drought and heat waves<\/strong>In 2023, it fueled one of the worst wildfire seasons the country has ever experienced; In the Alexandroupolis and Meri\u00e7 fires of August 19, \u2019, only more than 81,000 hectares of land were burned, a total of 170,000 hectares of land was burned across Greece.<\/p>\n

The Megara Forest, about 60 kilometers northwest of Athens\u2019, was also severely hit.<\/p>\n

Jasmine Georgiou euronews\u2019e, a forester specialising in Waste Management, said: \u201cIn the last five years, large fires have occurred in the Megara Forest, \u2019, destroying woodlands, forests, homes, businesses and animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Greek AntiNero Program<\/strong>\u2018mega was created to combat fires by clearing and maintaining forests, planting slow-burning trees, and creating different fire prevention zones.<\/p>\n

Georgiou explained that highly flammable bushes and forest debris need to be cleaned to prevent fires from spiraling out of control, especially in the summer.<\/p>\n

But public initiatives like this require a significant amount of investment to cover the costs of contractors, staff, and basic equipment.<\/p>\n

Project manager Giouli Vourna, \u201cThe budget of the project is over 400 million Euro\u2019; This is the largest intervention to combat this problem in our country, thanks to the resources provided by the Recovery and Resilience Fund, \u201d said. Wealth Development Fund of the Republic of Greece<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The measures financed by the RRF are determined according to the priorities of each country. Greece\u2019 has access to 35.9 billion Euro\u2019 distributed in grants and loans, including the modernization of public infrastructure, including health centres.<\/p>\n

Efstathopoulos, \u201cWe have renovated all patient rooms, all facilities and toilets, adding a very important call accessory for consoles and nurses for oxygen supply. It will also be followed by the complete reconstruction of the sixth floor and the E.R. \u201d said.<\/p>\n

Evangelos Manolis, another project manager at the Development Wealth Fund of the Republic of Greece, \u2019This project cost about 1 million Euro\u201c. The RRF has certainly helped a lot by quickly completing these studies carried out in more than 80 \u2019 hospitals under the program, ensuring that Greek people have access to quality medical services, \u201d said.<\/p>\n

GreeceAccording to \u2019's recovery plan, 38 percent of the funds will be allocated to \u2019i climate targets, 22 percent to \u2019i digitalization and 18 percent to \u2019i social projects.<\/p>\n

by Professor Phoebe Koundouri Athens University of Economics and Business<\/strong>and the chair UN SDSN Global Climate Center<\/strong>, Euronews\u2019e said that in order for Greece RRF\u2019 to achieve its goals, the creation of a suitable financial space, more time and significant reforms are needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe managed to get almost 50 percent \u2019 of the prepayments and ensured that a third of the money was spent on the investment. This is an unprecedented rate of absorption for Greece. But of course, we definitely need more time for this financial space to transfer itself to truly viable projects. So you really need the public sector to be productive, \u201d warned.<\/p>\n

After a hard decade, Papathana of Nikos<\/strong>The Deputy Minister at the Greek Ministry of Economy and Finance predicts that the Greek economy will grow by 2.9 percent in 2024\u2019te; This is slightly above the European Commission's estimate of 2.3% \u2019 for 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

According to Papathanasis\u2019, which is also responsible for Greece\u2019's RRF funds, the average growth rate in Europe\u2019 in 2024 will be 0.8 percent.<\/p>\n

Together with other European funds, we expect \u201c to contribute more than 60 percent of the growth we expect for 2024. \u2019 reforms make our economy more interesting for investments and, of course, investments help create new jobs. And in the last four years, we've reduced unemployment from 17.5 percent \u2019 to less than 10 percent \u2019.<\/p>\n

Papathanasis stressed that going forward, improving health facilities will remain a top priority and controls are in place to ensure the money is well spent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a national and European audit, we are constantly being audited. That's how we make sure the money goes to the right place. - \u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Papathanasis added: \u201cRRF is based on performance; It's not about how much money you spend, it's about achieving reforms and reaching those milestones. So it's hard, but it's more effective. And I think reforms, along with investments, are more beneficial to society than projects alone, \u201d.<\/p>\n
