Greece is one of the founding members of the OECD. The
previous Environmental Performance Reviews of Greece were
published in 2000 and 2009. The report reviews Greece’s
environmental performance since 2009. The OECD is grateful
to the examining countries: Israel and Portugal.
The EPR provides 49 recommendations, approved by the
OECD Working Party on Environmental Performance (WPEP)
on 26 February 2020. They aim to help Greece advance
towards green growth and sustainable development;
implement ambitious decarbonisation policies; strengthen
environmental governance; and better mainstream
biodiversity into agriculture, fi sheries, transport and
tourism. Particular emphasis is placed on climate change
mitigation and adaptation and on biodiversity.
