 Climate change has become a major concern worldwide due to its potential effects on the environment and society. Mitigation and adaptation are two main approaches to addressing climate change, which aim to reduce emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change respectively. In this paper, the authors examine the interplay between climate mitigation adaptation actions in Greece and the EU. They identify the most important motives and challenges related to joint adaptation and mitigation actions. Their findings suggest that a comprehensive approach to climate action planning should incorporate both adaptation and mitigation measures. This article was authored by Gregorios L.
