Both ministers stressed the importance of joint efforts to tackle the multiple global challenges arising from the climate crisis.

Kikilias noted Doughty’s “profound gratitude” for the Greek Fire Service‘s actions during the wildfires in Rhodes last year and Kos this year, which safeguarded the lives of thousands of British tourists.
