Europe's extreme weather becomes security concern
The report highlights that rising temperatures, wildfires, and drought in Europe have become a direct security threat that goes beyond environmental challenges. They have impacted infrastructure, water and food security, and the continent's military preparedness. Severe heatwaves have claimed the lives of around 10,000 people and caused damage to crops. Additionally, rising water levels and falling water supplies have forced nuclear power plants to shut down, threatening energy supplies. This has led to an increased call-up of armed forces to deal with fires and disasters. There is a pressing need to update security and adaptation plans and invest in climate-resilient infrastructure. It is estimated that Europe needs to invest approximately 70 billion euros annually until 2050 to effectively address the potential impacts of climate change.
