Greece tackles climate change wildfire risk with satellite network that can spot a blaze the size of a parking space

Greece is taking a proactive approach to combat climate change-fueled wildfires by deploying a satellite network capable of detecting even small blazes. After the devastating 2018 Athens wildfire, the country has invested in four advanced satellites, artificial intelligence for fire triage, and secured €550 million in EU funding. This initiative positions Greece as a leader in wildfire management, potentially setting a new standard for other nations grappling with similar risks. The combination of cutting-edge technology and substantial funding highlights the global importance of addressing climate change and its associated dangers.
