EU Green Capital Valencia will host 2024 edition of European Urban Resilience Forum
Crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development and recovery will be under the thematic spotlight
Public consultations on the bill will be held until 18 September
The Greek government has put forward a massive bill aimed at phasing out single-use plastics by 2021 and implementing stricter environmental standards based on EU recommendations and regulations. Public consultations on the bill will be held until 18 September, prior to its adoption.
The bill introduced by the government is far more ambitious than a simple single-use plastics ban. Instead, it envisions sweeping changes to the use of plastics in general that are meant to protect Greece’s nature and marine life and will allow the environment to heal.
The timetable proposed by authorities is as follows:
The revenue generated by some of these new fees will be gathered into a special fund that will then be used by Greek authorities for the protection of the country’s marine life and its habitat.
