Europe is facing a barrage of extreme weather events fueled by climate change. Heatwaves, storms, wildfires, and now floods are devastating the region, prompting governments to take action.

Greece's Prime Minister Mitsotakis is calling for a 'total effort' to address this crisis, emphasizing the need to learn from past failures. From record-breaking temperatures in Germany to intense storms in Belgium, the consequences of climate change are evident.

Similarly, severe wildfires in recent seasons have released alarming amounts of CO2, threatening ecosystems and displacing thousands. The Balkan countries are struggling under a week-long heatwave, impacting agriculture and daily life.

Globally, extreme heat is closing schools, affecting millions of children and hindering education progress. With temperatures rising and extreme weather events becoming more frequent, urgent action is needed to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect communities worldwide.
