Visits:

Helios Eco Lab: is the brainchild of David Davis, a sustainability expert. Helios Eco Lab is a "living museum of sustainability" of zero carbon and zero waste next to the Kouvaras forest near Porto Rafti. Its founder aims to demonstrate that sustainable living can be functional and affordable. The site also houses the Solar Electric Club which promotes a range of services to support the entire solar electric ecosystem.


Symbeeosis HQ's Garden: The Hippocratic Botanical Garden of Symbeeosis, which includes over 500 species of plants, reflects the philosophy of its founders; Out of respect for the rich Greek biodiversity and the preservation of the natural environment, the natural topography remains in much of the Garden and blends perfectly with the flowerbeds. The species cultivated in the Garden using regenerative farming methods are in harmony with the rich native flora that exists on the estate. In the context of a holistic view of the function of nature, in the Garden, the flowering plants live in harmony with the bees that are hosted here and together they ensure its sustainability.

The Symbeeosis Hippocrates Botanical Garden is a place of knowledge, aesthetic pleasure, and unique experiential experiences.

 

So, if you are a person interested in sustainability and energy-related topics, don't waste time and book your ticket!

Youth Energy Engagement in the Sustainable Energy Sector

  By George Prokopos, member of  YES-Europe Greece Addressing Energy Literacy Gaps & Youth-Driven Solutions   Despite the increasing importance of the energy sector, there remains a concerning lack of awareness among some young individuals. Many are unfamiliar with basic energy definitions, let alone the complexities of the industry. Initiatives such as energy literacy campaigns, workshops, and outreach programs can play a pivotal role in bridging this gap. By demystifying energy-related concepts and showcasing the sector's impact on their lives, more young people can be inspired to engage actively and contribute to a sustainable energy future.  Youngsters possess a unique perspective and innovative thinking that can significantly contribute to solving complex challenges in the energy sector. Encouraging and supporting youth-led initiatives that focus on developing new technologies, promoting energy efficiency, and addressing environmental concerns is essential. ...

Dataphroria: η ελληνική start-up που συνδυάζει τα δεδομένα με την αειφορία

Γράφει η Άννα Κουλουγκουσίδου, μέλος του Yes Europe Greece Στο δεύτερο επεισόδιο της φετινής σεζόν podcast του YES-EUROPE Greece, η Country Representatives Lead του YES-Europe, Εύη Μακρή, είχε την χαρά και την ευκαιρία να συνομιλήσει με τον κ. Αναστάση Σταμάτη, συνιδρυτή και CEO της Dataphoria . Επίκεντρο της συζήτησης ήταν τόσο ο σκοπός της νεοφυούς αυτής επιχείρησης, δηλαδή η μέτρηση της αειφορίας και ειδικότερα του βαθμού στον οποίο αυτή προσεγγίζεται από επιχειρήσεις, προϊόντα ή υπηρεσίες, ακόμα και από πόλεις, όσο και οι προκλήσεις, οι ευκαιρίες και τα σημεία – σταθμοί στην επιτυχημένη πορεία της. Διαθέτοντας και διοχετεύοντας το ενδιαφέρον τους για τα περιβαλλοντικά ζητήματα σε σημαντικές εθελοντικές τοπικές δράσεις ήδη από την περίοδο των κοινών σπουδών τους, ο κ. Αναστάσης Σταμάτης και η κ. Φένια Σούρλα, ιδρυτές της Dataphoria αλλά και φίλοι, αποφάσισαν λίγα χρόνια μετά να εντάξουν -επιτυχώς- αυτό το mindset και στην επαγγελματική τους ζωή και να προσηλωθούν πλήρως σε αυτό, ενώ...

COP28: τι μάθαμε από το COP27 και τι περιμένουμε φέτος

Γράφει ο Γιάννης Πουλόπουλος,  Country Representative του YES-Europe Greece Η COP 27 έληξε με δυσαρέσκεια για το τελικό της ανακοινωθέν, καθώς δεν περιλαμβάνει επιθετική δράση για τη σταδιακή κατάργηση των ορυκτών καυσίμων και τη χρηματοδότηση των αναπτυσσόμενων χωρών. Η COP 28 είναι έτοιμη να αντιμετωπίσει βασικά ζητήματα όπως η χρηματοδότηση, η επικαιροποίηση των εθνικά καθορισμένων συνεισφορών και η σταδιακή κατάργηση των ορυκτών καυσίμων. Δέκα κύρια θέματα αναμένεται να κυριαρχήσουν στις συζητήσεις της COP 28.  Αναμενόμενα κυρίαρχα θέματα στην COP28 “Ο Παγκόσμιος Απολογισμός” (The Global Stocktake) Ο παγκόσμιος απολογισμός, που θεσπίστηκε στο πλαίσιο της συμφωνίας του Παρισιού, παρακολουθεί την παγκόσμια πρόοδο όσον αφορά τους στόχους για το κλίμα. Πραγματοποιείται κάθε πέντε χρόνια και αξιολογεί τις προσπάθειες για τη μείωση των εκπομπών αερίων του θερμοκηπίου, την προσαρμογή στην κλιματική αλλαγή και την αξιολόγηση των μεθόδων εφαρμογής, όπως η χρηματοδότηση.
