The new bill titled ‘Active Battle’ by Greece's Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection focuses on reforming the National Registry for Preventive Fire Protection Measures. It proposes that the registry not only track citizens' obligations during fire season but also serve as a tool for reporting, inspections, and interventions by authorities, thus aiming to enhance compliance and effective fire risk management.

Additionally, the bill extends the deadlines for landowners to clear their properties and submit declarations until June 15. Beginning April 1 and lasting through to the deadline, owners are required to maintain their properties throughout the fire season. This regulatory framework aims to mitigate fire hazards and improve response efforts by establishing clear obligations for property maintenance.

The implications of this legislation are significant as Greece has faced devastating wildfires in recent years, highlighting the need for proactive measures. The government’s initiative reflects an urgent commitment to enhance public safety and environmental protection in mountainous and forested areas, where fire risks are particularly high. By creating a more streamlined process for land management, the state hopes to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic wildfires in the future.
