- Athens is targeting an 82% renewable share by 2030, compared with 66% in the 2019 plan.
- The plan estimates €95 billion in additional investment by 2030, including measures for efficient buildings, solar and wind power, and energy storage.
- Greenhouse gas emissions are to fall by 58.6% by 2030 on the way to climate neutrality in 2050, compared with the previous plan’s 43% target.
- Energy and Environment Minister Theodore Skylakakis said the revised plan did not address adapting to climate change that is already occurring.
"The prevailing opinion is that we will be able to prevent the climate crisis before it occurs... but the climate crisis is already here, with huge economic and fiscal implications," he said.— Theodore Skylakakis, Greek Energy and Environment Minister, at a news conference to present the plan
