Europe's record-breaking heat

The annual European State of the Climate report has revealed that Europe is warming at twice the global average rate.

The findings show that 2025 was a year of unprecedented climate extremes, featuring record-breaking heatwaves, devastating wildfires, and severe flooding across the continent.

Scientists from the UN and the EU warned that these events have already caused significant economic damage and loss of life.

The report emphasizes that current mitigation efforts are insufficient and that the continent must prepare for increasingly frequent and intense weather shocks in the coming years.
