Roundup: OECD sees margin for further environmental improvement in Greece

ATHENS, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Greece has raised its environmental profile, which is also seen to improve the country's competitiveness, but still faces major challenges and remains vulnerable to climate change, warned a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) this week.

The organization's "Environmental Performance Reviews: Greece 2020" acknowledged that the country "has decoupled emissions from its gross domestic product", with its swing toward renewable energy sources and its pledge to shut down all its coal-fired power plants by 2028.
