Vara care a pârjolit planeta: Incendiile au ars o suprafață mai mare decât Franța, Spania și Germania la un loc / 2026 e anul în care incendiile extreme au devastat 80 de țări
This summer has been marked by unprecedented wildfires globally, affecting over 370 million acres across 80 countries. The fires have devastated regions from sub-Saharan Africa to tropical forests in South America, exacerbated by record heat and drought. In the UK, over 1,017 fires have occurred, surpassing last year's records. The human and economic toll is significant, with preliminary estimates for Europe alone ranging from €15.6 billion to €19.1 billion. Experts warn that climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of these fires, leading to extreme conditions and widespread evacuations.
