From COP30 to Greek Kilowatts: A Climate Reality Check

This episode of Explaining Greece takes listeners on a journey from high-stakes international climate negotiations to the everyday forces driving up electricity prices in Greece—offering a comprehensive look at global climate diplomacy, emissions trends, and the real-life impacts of the climate crisis, from heatwaves and floods to rising energy bills.

In conversation with Dimitris Tsekeris, Senior Climate Policy Analyst at Climate Analytics in Berlin, we unpack what happened behind closed doors at this year’s Bonn Climate Conference, where global emissions targets stand ahead of COP30, and how geopolitical tensions are shaping climate ambition across Europe and beyond.

We then turn to Greece’s own energy transition for a clear-eyed state of play, examining how much power is now generated from renewables, how fossil fuel dependence continues to drive up electricity costs in Greece, and what structural reforms are needed to decarbonize effectively without leaving consumers behind. Most importantly, we explore the solutions and pathways that could move Greece toward a more resilient and affordable energy future.
