The implementation of the “Communication Action Plan of the Ministry of the Environment & Energy (MEE – YPEN)” for the citizens’ information and environmental awareness raising on a series of critical environmental issues has been undertaken by Sympraxis, contractor of the communication project, on behalf of the NSRF (ESPA) Executive Unit of the Ministry. On June 5, 2023, the Ministry celebrated the World Environment Day by giving children the opportunity to recognise through creative, visual group games and recreational activities, our essential connection with nature and the need to protect the natural environment in which we live. More than 350 children and their families came to Pyrgos Vasilissis in Ilion and participated in experiential events related to the environment. On July 11, 2023, at the online Day on “Accessibility and Walkability in Greek cities“, more than 150 participants attended important issues around the two themes directly related to the form and function of cities and settlements, daily life and the improvement of its quality, the reduction of pollutants, the climate neutrality of urban areas, the elimination of discrimination, and respect for the rights of persons with disabilities. On July 14, 2023, at the hybrid Day on forest ecosystems held in Patras, more than 250 participants, forest officials, forest service inspectors and coordinators from all over Greece attended an important one-day conference on the strategy, actions, restoration projects and good practices concerning the protection and management of forest ecosystems.
