The climate crisis is not only a future threat. It's already taking its toll today.
That is why 15 July has been declared the EU Day for the Victims of the Global #ClimateCrisis 🇪🇺
A day to commemorate the victims, to raise awareness and to better prepare for future disasters. https://t.co/1niPDesSsZ

“The #NatureRestoration Law will just lead to more protected areas!”
“It will negatively impact Europe’s food security and threaten farmers’ livelihoods!”
We understand these concerns - but they are simply wrong. Allow us to clarify how it really works!

What could the summer bring? Is extreme weather the new normal?

Under our changing climate, the weather in Europe is getting more extreme. What could this summer bring in terms of heatwaves, droughts, floods, and forest fires? The overall outlook is pessimistic as we have already seen this past winter and spring. This makes adaptation to climate change and better preparedness crucial, according to a European Environment Agency extreme weather product published today, which explains the top weather-related climate challenges we face.

While we fight to protect all Europeans we must also honour the victims.
