A new scheme aims to transform Greek orchards into sources of carbon credits, offering farmers millions in extra earnings while giving polluters a way to offset emissions

National Geographic explorer Enric Sala calls for more “Amorgorama”-style marine sanctuaries in Greece, saying ocean protection and prosperity go hand in hand.

Extreme heat and poor air quality are undermining health and productivity, while rapid construction and mass tourism put fragile coastlines and water resources at risk.

These so-called “sponge infrastructures” can serve as natural defenses against floods, help river basins suffering from water scarcity, and offer sustainable responses to drought and soil erosion.

The Commissioner’s visit to Greece began Monday with a series of field inspections alongside Environment and Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou.

Nine environmental organizations allege the government has left over 90% of protected waters as 'paper parks'.
