Climate change linked to fires in southern France
The heatwave and climate change have caused widespread wildfires in the forests of southern France, particularly in the departments of Ood, Eure, and Eastern Pyrenees. The fires have led to the evacuation of thousands of people, while authorities responded by deploying around 800 firefighters and 150 vehicles to combat the flames, which have destroyed approximately 900 hectares of forests and vegetation. The fires are directly attributed to drought and elevated temperatures over recent weeks, with France having recorded around 7,000 fires since the beginning of summer, damaging about 87,000 hectares of woodland.
