The role that Cyprus can play in tackling the climate crisis is referred to in his interview with "Fileleftheros" by the European Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero Emissions and Clean Growth, Wopke Hoekstra. As he said, climate action is inextricably linked to the economy, innovation and strengthening the competitiveness of European industry, while contributing to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and enhancing safety.
The European Commissioner, who was in Nicosia for the work of the Informal Meeting, stressed that Cyprus is at the forefront of the effects of climate change, with serious problems such as forest fires and water scarcity. For this reason, the focus of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU on climate, and in particular on climate resilience and water, is particularly crucial. And this at a time when the EU itself recognizes that it is not sufficiently prepared for climate disasters.

Referring to the reduction of pensions by 12% (the well-known penalty), he said that developments are expected through the reform, stressing that there will be a downward differentiation. According to Mr. Mousioutas, through the actuarial study it will be clarified how the issue will be regulated.
