Greece



Greece lies at the juncture between Europe, Asia and North Africa and is regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation, democracy and philosophy.

Today, Greece is a member of the European Union. Economic development has come with environmental problems, such as water protection, agricultural pesticides, environmental degradation and toxic chemicals, which decrease the quality of life of the population and the health of the environment.

WECF works closely with its partner organisation to improve the conditions through awareness raising and lobbying actions.
