Europe's Climate Risks Escalate, Urgent Action Needed

The European Environment Agency's first risk assessment reveals significant climate threats, calling for immediate adaptation measures.

Europe faces increasing climate risks, including wildfires, drought, and flooding, with a need for immediate action to protect energy, food security, water, and health.
The European Environment Agency's first risk assessment identifies 36 major climate risks, with eight requiring urgent attention.
Europe is the fastest-warming continent, heating up twice as fast as other regions since the 1980s.
Economic losses from heat waves and floods could reach 1 trillion euros a year by the end of the century.
The EU and its member states have made progress in understanding climate risks but need to accelerate adaptation actions.
