Athens is highly exposed to heatwaves, water scarcity, flooding, and wildfires, with impacts that affect daily life, public health, and the local economy. These risks are intensified by dense urban conditions and social inequalities.
JustREACH supports integrated approaches that link climate adaptation with social and economic priorities. Work in Athens focuses on water management, improving urban microclimates, circular economy initiatives, and skills and job creation related to climate resilience. Cooperation across municipal services, research institutions, and local networks supports the development of long-term, inclusive adaptation pathways.
