In an article as part of a special edition with ELIAMEP’s forecasts for 2026, published in Ta Nea, titled “Climate crisis heating up, climate policy in retreat”, Nikos Mantzaris, Chief Policy Analyst and co-founder of The Green Tank, examines one of the defining contradictions of our time: while the climate crisis is intensifying at an accelerating pace, climate policy at both European and national level is retreating dangerously.
