Greece

SDSN Greece joined the FABLE Consortium in June 2023 and participates with a team of researchers from the Alliance of Excellence for Research and Innovation on Αephoria (AE4RIA) chaired by Prof. Koundouri. The FABLE team in Greece uses the FABLE calculator to provide projections for the country’s performance in Sustainable Agriculture, Energy, Food Security and Biodiversity for the 2020-2050 period. The process is embodied in the global projections of the FABLE consortium through the Scenathons process and will culminate in a detailed country report in 2024.

The Global Climate Hub was launched in July 2023, with the mission of providing science-based recommendations for combating the climate crisis and preventing further deterioration. It includes expertise from SDSN members under Prof. Koundouri's leadership, co-chair of SDSN Greece. The GCH is hosted by AUEB and the Athena Research & Innovation Center while the Academy of Athens and the Technical University of Denmark are two of the most important co-founding institutions. At COP 28, the GCH launched a report to present its work on net zero pathways.

Both host institutions of SDSN Greece have run several ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) professional courses, including one titled "ESG, SDGs and Sustainable Finance," in collaboration with PwC Greece, and one on ESG Instruments & Strategy, in collaboration with the Global Compact Greece. The co-chairs of the network, Prof. Koundouri and Prof. Papandreou, are also the scientific directors of the courses held at AUEB and PESD respectively.

SDSN Greece focused on SDG 13. AUEB and Athena RC currently participate in 12 EU funded international research projects on sustainable pathways, climate neutrality and resilience. SDSN Greece also focused on SDG 4. PESD currently leads the Erasmus Project SDGs for Universities. SDG4U fosters the implementation of SDGs in higher education by embedding them across teaching, research, operations, and community outreach.
