Shrinking snowfall on Greece's mountains is provoking anxiety, altering the economy
Greece is experiencing a significant decline in snowfall, particularly on its mountains, which is raising concerns about water scarcity. Research indicates that snow cover has decreased by more than half since the mid-1980s, impacting water supplies during the dry season. The loss of snow is primarily attributed to rising temperatures linked to climate change, which is occurring at an unprecedented rate in the Mediterranean region.
