Renewable-energy installations (wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, etc.) now encounter systematic opposition from Greek country-dwellers. Meanwhile, a pile of money from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) has become available to fund the so-called green transition and promote Europe\u2019s self-sufficiency in energy. So what will this transition involve? And will proper protections be afforded to the local environment?<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>European Data Journalism Network<\/span><\/a> (EDJNet) and the Mediterranean Institute for Investigative Reporting (MIIR) have put the European Commission’s own data under the microscope, alongside the national recovery plans of Greece and 10 other countries in southern and eastern Europe. We hope to shed light on the real impact of the projects funded by the EU scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n How much of Greece’s allocation is going to climate targets?<\/b><\/p>\n The new EU money means different things for different EU countries. For some, the recovery fund represents a unique opportunity to achieve development. This is particularly true for the countries of southern and eastern Europe, which have received the greatest funding <\/span>in relation to GDP<\/span><\/a>. These include Greece, Croatia, Spain, Romania, Romania, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Hungary and Slovakia. It is why we chose to look at these countries in particular.<\/span><\/p>\n All 11 countries examined are meeting the requirement that 37% of their allocation be invested in the green transition. Some exceed it by far. In particular, Hungary devotes 67% of its resources to climate and environmental objectives. Bulgaria, in second place, is also spending more than half (57%) of its funds on green measures, and Slovakia and Poland are close behind with 48% and 47% respectively. Greece is in tenth place with 38%.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”1627px” custom_margin=”-40px||||false|false” custom_padding=”45px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”1404px” custom_margin=”-30px||||false|false” custom_padding=”||11px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px||10px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
