Greece Implements Measures to Combat Snow Loss

Snow cover in 10 Greek mountains has declined by over 50% since the mid-1980s, confirmed by 40 years of satellite data.
Rising temperatures linked to greenhouse gas emissions are causing snow loss, not natural climate variability.
Snow acts as a natural water reservoir, with reduced snowfall leading to drier vegetation and increased fire risk.
Mount Parnassos snowfall at 2,400m now matches 300m levels from the past.
100% of Arachova's water depends on snowmelt, prompting local efforts to preserve it through dams and retention measures.
