Europe is the fastest-warming continent, report says
Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy
  • Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

  • The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

  • Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

  • The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.
