The tragic wildfires in Greece during the summer of 2023, as well as in many other countries across the globe, once again highlighted the state of emergency the planet is facing due to the climate crisis. The significant energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine revealed various weaknesses in the European energy strategy. The book delves into global dilemmas such as transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable sources, new geopolitical balances with China playing a pivotal role in the green transition, waste management, the importance of forests in ecological balance, water pollution, the fashion industry's contribution to pollution, the role of smart digital agriculture, modern transportation, the role of industry, and necessary changes in our daily behavior. A substantial part of the book is dedicated to the Greek conditions and priorities, covering topics like energy democracy, energy poverty, energy conservation, energy communities, national hydrocarbon deposits, and the country's major geopolitical initiatives for its transformation into an energy hub. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of a complex economic and international environment that shapes the country's present and future. The author, Giannis Maniatis, offers insights into the economic, social, and environmental impacts of the climate crisis, along with the policies of both the EU and the G20, raising concerns about the direction we are heading. The thoughts presented by Giannis Maniatis are expected to open new horizons for readers, providing everyday topics along with reflections on the future from an exceptional scientist and politician with condensed experience, social sensitivity, innovative thinking, and a straightforward narrative. - Christos S.
