In his address at an event entitled: "Dressing Makarios back in Green", organised by the Independent Environmental Organisation "Green Shield" through the YOU REFOREST CYPRUS programme, Mr. Pelecanos said. Pelecanos said that the Government's determination to take all necessary measures to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement to address the impacts of Climate Change was confirmed by the recent successful organization of the 2nd International Conference on Climate Change in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, held in Paphos.
Pelecanos said that it was recognized by all that our region is particularly vulnerable to the effects of Climate Change, which is why the initiative of the President of the Republic himself to create a Regional Action Plan to address these effects in various sectors such as the Environment, Agriculture, Tourism, etc., which burden the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, was considered particularly important. It is worth mentioning that in the last two years, 13 teams have been working on this Action Plan, with the participation of 240 scientists from the region and international organizations.
As for Cyprus, he noted that through the Action Plan, measures are being promoted to reduce greenhouse emissions, establish mechanisms for more resilient and competitive economies through renewable energy sources, provide incentives for businesses and industry to adapt to sustainable and green technologies and create jobs in the region.
