Ecogenia: Mobilizing youth for a Greek national climate corps

This year the Biden Administration launched the American Climate Corps, with the ambitious goal of putting more than 20,000 young people on career pathways in the fields of clean energy, conservation and climate resilience. At the same time, a group of Greeks, inspired by the AmeriCorps model of civil service, have embarked on a mission to become Greece’s national climate corps. The organization is called Ecogenia, and it is quickly gaining the attention of not only Greeks, but the US and the EU as well. Lia Papazoglou and Erika Spagakou, the co-founders of Ecogenia, join Thanos Davelis to talk about Ecogenia and its mission, and explore how they are mobilizing young people in climate action projects across Greece.
