Focusing further on solutions, probably the most important thing we can do is educate the youth. Education is a vital element of the global response to climate change, as it supports young people to understand the impact of global warming, inspires changes in their behaviour and increases climate literacy, limiting the scope for controversy over this serious issue.
It is for these reasons that the Bank of Greece, through the work of the Climate Change Impact Study Committee, addresses climate literacy and has in the past decade organised a large number of conferences, workshops, seminars and round-table discussions, as well as a public consultation on climate and energy issues, ahead of the Paris Convention in 2015.
