In Greece, climate change’s effects on the country’s economy are undeniable

As wildfires scorch forests and floods sweep through towns, Greece finds itself at the frontline of Europe’s climate crisis.

In this video, locals in Athens share their daily struggles and climate activist and politician Petros S. Kokkalis explains how rapidly rising temperatures are reshaping Greece’s economy and society.
