Climate change effects are noticeable throughout Greece. These consequences can damage the environmental and socioeconomic relationships in the country.  Climate change primarily occurs when an excess of greenhouse gases are emitted into the environment, resulting in a temperature increase. Studies have shown that if climate change continues to develop at its current pace, it will have detrimental effects to the standards of living. In Greece, climate change has had many impacts including an increase in temperature, extreme weather events and rising sea levels. In particular, it is expected that sea levels will rise by 20-59cm by 2045, decreasing the amount of land currently in Greece by 3.5%. Climate change is currently not part of the mandatory Greek curriculum; students learn about climate change on a voluntary basis. A study found that a portion of Greek students do not understand certain effects that climate change will have on the world as well as what factors worsen climate change. Therefore, it is important to educate future generations of Greek citizens to expand their knowledge on climate change, mitigation and resilience strategies.
