Europe is a global leader in green transition but needs more resources to tackle the impact of climate-related disasters, Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos stated at the UN COP29 summit in Baku.
Prime Minister has stressed the importance of substantial investments in energy grids and adaptive measures to combat climate change.
“We cannot focus so much on 2050 that we forget 2024,” he stated, urging increased resources to help communities prepare for and respond to climate shocks. Mitsotakis underscored the need for climate adaptation across Europe, warning that immediate action is necessary to ensure that climate impacts do not hinder future progress.
Reaffirming his commitment to the EU Green Deal, the Prime Minister called for a “smart and pragmatic” approach to climate action, one grounded in data and science. He also highlighted the need for adaptability in response to evolving environmental challenges.
Mitsotakis concluded by stating that Europe must continue its leadership in global climate action. “We must do more to ensure this journey continues uninterrupted and without leaving anyone behind,” he said. His remarks signal a continued push for inclusive and sustainable policies as Europe strives toward a greener future.
