[01] Concert against climate change

Nikos Aliagas will be the event's main presenter, while a host of Greek and foreign artists will participate, among them Marios Fragoulis, C Real, Adam Cohen, Demi Evans and others.

The concert is set to begin at 20:30 in the evening and will be free to the public. It will also feature a giant video wall, on which organisers will screen environmental messages from people that have distinguished themselves in the fight to protect the environment.

The aim of the concert is to encourage people to participate actively in solving the problems and to transmit messages that will raise environmental awareness among the public.

The European Commission in Greece wants to broadcast a message that people will have to change their habits through a new campaign on climate change, in order to encourage people to mobilise and take effective action to protect the environment.
