The European State of the Climate Report finds that Europe was the fastest-warming continent in 2024. It also notes that there were record-high numbers of extreme heat days and tropical nights, as well as widespread flooding. The report calls for urgent action to increase climate resilience.
The EU is investing €86 million in several projects in the EU and Iceland that will work on water quality and availability, cleaning up polluted rivers, improving fire and flood protection, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their work will help Europe become a climate-neutral continent by 2050.
Around 12% of Europe’s population live near rivers prone to flooding. Find out more about an EU project that is helping to protect communities in Slovakia and Poland from flash floods by installing smart sensors to monitor water levels, soil conditions and atmospheric factors in real time.
