The thesis examines the delignitization process in Greece and the

transition to a low-emissions energy model. It analyzes the reasons

leading to the move away from lignite, such as the European climate
targets and the decrease in the competitiveness of lignite plants. It
presents the objectives of the National Energy and Climate Plan for
2030. It analyzes the economic figures of the lignite regions and the
sector's contribution to employment. Finally, it presents the effects of
lignitization and the compensatory actions planned through the Just
Development Transition Plan for lignite-dependent areas.
