Si les citoyens grecs considèrent les problématiques environnementales comme une priorité, ce n’est pas le cas de leurs représentants politiques, qui ne les ont quasiment pas évoquées lors des dernières élections législatives. Ce n’est qu’à l’occasion des incendies de forêts et des inondations de l’été 2023 que la question surgit dans le débat public grec.

My friend Clive Burgess, who has died aged 71, was an authority on late medieval religious practices and beliefs in England. Over the years he had a number of lecturing and research posts in a range of organisations, mainly at Royal Holloway, University of London, where in 2005 he was appointed as a permanent lecturer in medieval history. He remained there until his retirement as a reader in 2019, and was subsequently made professor emeritus.
