Description
Phoebe Koundouri and co-authors stress-test Greece's climate neutrality plan in a 2025 study. Reaching net zero demands policy that works as one across sectors. Energy, farming, and water interact in ways siloed plans miss. A linked modeling framework looked at those links.
Five tools modeled land, energy, water, and biofuel jointly. The scenario encoded the country's stated policy goals. Large emission cuts by 2050 appear possible. They hinge on hopes for how well it is put in place, though. Energy emissions could fall almost fivefold. Total energy demand could shrink by a fifth. Biofuel made at home would deepen the gains. Current policies miss land needed to grow renewables. Trade-offs among land, energy, and water go with no one in charge. The authors urge a single joined approach. How sectors depend on each other is the central warning. Plans that ignore the nexus fall short.
