New Policy Brief: Is the Greek green transition running out of power?

In his maiden speech to the UN in 2019, PM Mitsotakis positioned Greece at the forefront of the green transition by promising “a new, ambitious national strategy on energy and climate change”.

 

Six years on, mid-way through his second term as prime minister, Mitsotakis has shifted his position, arguing that “the green transition cannot be an end in itself” and calling for a loosening of climate targets to support industrial competitiveness and social cohesion.

Georgia Nakou, Features Editor and Energy Specialist at MacroPolis, takes a look at Greece’s mixed record at meeting the targets of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and identifies the key forces shaping the policy response.
