Climate change is melting the ice, raising the seas, and disrupting ecosystems worldwide.

🌿 Nature is changing. So must we.

If global temperatures rise by 2°C — a threshold we could reach as early as the 2040s or 2050s — the world will face a dramatic shift.

By the end of the century, Thessaloniki could face temperatures above 35°C for nearly half the year.
Under the worst climate scenario, such hot days may rise from 15 to 160 per year — a tenfold increase.

Γιατί αναπνέουν ακόμα βρόμικο αέρα Θεσσαλονίκη και Ιωάννινα.

Οι δύο αντιμετωπίζουν ένα κοινό περιβαλλοντικό πρόβλημα, που έρχεται από το παρελθόν και παραμένει άλυτο: τη μεγάλη ρύπανση της ατμόσφαιρας από μικροσωματίδια.

🍇🍷 Air pollution changes the taste of food!
Pollutants not only affect our health but also the aroma and taste of food.

Crops absorb pollutants from the air and soil, affecting the texture of fruits, vegetables, and even wine! 🍷

Clean air is not a luxury — it’s a right.
Across Europe, cities face rising challenges from hashtag#AirPollution.
hashtag#LIFESIRIUS brings together experts from Greece, Italy, and Cyprus to help Thessaloniki, Rome, and Nicosia breathe easier.

🌍 At #CLIMPACTForum, we highlighted key project synergies in tackling the Mediterranean #ClimateCrisis!
🔹 Prof. D. Melas on integrated air quality-climate change approach.
🔹 Dr. P. Hadjinicolaou (CYI) on heat risk management.
🔹 Dr. D. Parliari on air pollution & health.

Over 90% of children worldwide will breathe polluted air every day. This exposure can lead to lifelong health issues.
We work to protect future generations by helping cities make decisions for cleaner air.
