The European State of the Climate 2024 report reveals that Europe is warming at an alarming rate, surpassing global averages, with a 2.4°C increase in temperatures since the mid-19th century. The report indicates that extreme weather events like floods and heat waves are affecting nearly half a million people. These trends result from human-induced climate change, contributing to record levels of greenhouse gas concentrations. Notably, 2024 has been marked as the warmest year on record, underscoring the urgent need for climate action in the face of escalating environmental crises.
No other continent is warming as quickly as Europe, with temperatures rising approximately 2.4 degrees Celsius since the Industrial Revolution, impacting the lives of millions.
It's not just a global average temperature number. It really has an impact at the regional and local scale, shaping the lives of Europe's 750 million people.
