Abstract
Paraschos Maniatis and Dimitrios Maniatis
This study examines the cumulative impacts of human activities—particularly agriculture, urban development, and energy production—on natural resources and environmental conditions, contributing to climate change. By employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative and qualitative analyses, the research evaluates the effectiveness of sustainable practices, such as renewable energy adoption and reforestation. Additionally, the study explores the role of governance structures and policy frameworks in promoting successful climate change mitigation strategies. The findings underscore the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration, the need for adaptive policy frameworks, and the balanced integration of human development with ecological preservation. This research offers key insights for policymakers aiming to design comprehensive, multi-sectoral climate mitigation policies.
