How does the new EU Nature Restoration Regulation affect Greece's river management strategies and what are the potential consequences of inaction?

The Medina project emphasizes the removal of obsolete or hazardous river obstructions in Greece, many predating industrialization. They prioritize identifying easily removable, useless structures as a first step, advocating for a shift from dam-centric flood and drought management to parallel river interventions. This approach incorporates fish passage provisions in new projects.

How do differing opinions on specific climate policies, such as taxes versus subsidies, reflect broader societal concerns and values?

The SCP's survey highlights a disconnect between general support for climate action and specific policy preferences. While there's broad backing for initiatives benefiting citizens (e.g., insulation subsidies), acceptance wanes for measures impacting daily expenses (e.g., meat tax). This reveals a need for policy adjustments that balance environmental goals with public acceptance and economic realities. The decrease in trust towards the government's climate policies underscores the necessity for transparent and effective communication.
