Greece has jumped 10 places to rank 24th among 60 countries in this year’s Climate Change Performance Index 2022 issued by Germanwatch, CAN International, and the NewClimate Institute, ANA reports.
The factors that contributed to Greece rising from 34th to 24th in the list included a program to phase out lignite coal, the new climate law announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his speech at the COP26 in Glasgow, Greece’s revised National Plan for Energy and Climate designed to adapt to the more ambitious EU emissions targets for 2030, a program subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles and legislation on forests.
