Greece: A Climate Hotspot

In the cradle of Western civilization, Greece now stands at the forefront of one of the most pressing global issues: climate change. "Greece: A Climate Hotspot" is a compelling short documentary that explores the multifaceted impact of climate change in this Mediterranean nation, recognized as a climate hotspot due to its unique geographical

and climatic conditions.

This documentary navigates through the picturesque landscapes of Greece, now increasingly marred by the adverse effects of climate change.
