Joint Press Release of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Digital Governance (5 February 2021)
More Consular Authorities serving citizens remotely – Pilot programme extended to the Consulates General in Boston, Istanbul and Düsseldorf, and the Consulate in PerthThe Consulates General in Boston, Istanbul and Düsseldorf, and the Consulate in Perth are, as of today, included in the pilot operation of “MyConsulLive,” the platform for serving citizens remotely, via video calls. The platform was designed by the General Secretariat for Public Administration IT Systems, based on similar digital appointment services already provided by Citizens Services Centres (KEP), the Greek Manpower Employment Organization (OAED), and the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR). This service, which was presented to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis by Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias and Digital Governance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis on 29 December 2020, is already in pilot operation at Greece’s Embassy in the United Kingdom and at the Consulates General in New York and Toronto, and will gradually be extended to all Consular Missions. The “MyConsulLive” platform enables Greeks residing abroad to use Consular services remotely, via scheduled video calls with competent consular personnel. Entry into the platform requires the use of Taxisnet login (user name/password) to confirm the interested party’s personal data, while identification during the video call will be made via presentation of state documents (ID card, passport, etc.). The initiative is being supplemented by the Digital Virtual Assistant service through the use of artificial intelligence (Chatbot), which has gone into pilot operation at the Consular Office of the London Embassy and at the Consulate General in New York, and will gradually be extended to all consular missions. These special applications decisively upgrade the level of consular services for citizens, and their extension to all consular missions will resolve chronic problems, digitalizing and streamlining procedures.

Progress of the Greek initiative for protection of Cultural Heritage from the impacts of Climate Change
In the context of the international initiative Greece launched in 2019 for the protection of cultural heritage from the impacts of climate change, our country presented the “Addressing climate change impacts on cultural and natural heritage” proposal at the Climate Action Summit 2019. This proposal received the official support of the UN Secretary-General, UNESCO, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Council of Europe and over 100 UN member states. Since the end of last year, Greece has hosted the Secretariat of the Flexible Mechanism, which was created to monitor the progress of the implementation of the above proposal and is made up of representatives of Greece, UNESCO and the WMO. In addition to mapping the initiative’s progress, it also aims to effectively coordinate the existing channels for protection of global cultural and natural heritage from the impacts of climate change. This mechanism, without establishing a new international body, also ensures the implementation of the individual actions set out in the Greek proposal, in the sectors of scientific research, administration/management and education, in collaboration with the countries and International Organizations that supported its creation.Greece is represented by George Kremlis, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Environmental Issues, UNESCO by its Director for Cultural Policies and Development, Paola Leoncini Bartoli, and the WMO by its Director of Science and Innovation and Chief Scientist, Professor Jürg Luterbacher. On the national level – by Decision of the Prime Minister – Greece has also set up a Coordination Unit to support, among other things, the work of the Flexible Mechanism. The Coordination Unit includes executives from the states/organizations that have supported the Greek proposal as it was submitted to the UN. The Coordination Unit, which is housed at the Academy of Athens, is headed by Greece’s representative to the Flexible Mechanism, George Kremlis, and is made up of distinguished scientists with expertise in the field of the Greek initiative, including the State Representative for Climate Change, Professor Christos Zerefos; the Chair of the Greek National Committee on Climate Change, Professor Costas Synolakis; the Chair of the Culture Ministry’s Working Group on Climate Change and Cultural Heritage, Professor Konstantinos Kartalis; and executive personnel of the co-competent Ministries and international organizations. More information on the progress that has been made in the direction of implementing the Greek initiative is available on the initiative’s website (www.ccich.gr).
