Mediterana se încălzește cu 20% mai repede decât media globală. Secetele și incendiile se vor accentua

The Mediterranean region is experiencing climate change effects at a rate 20% faster than the global average, leading to more frequent heatwaves and droughts. This analysis by Prof. Mihai Dima highlights the region's vulnerability due to its geographical position and climatic characteristics. Changes in temperature and precipitation can quickly lead to severe drought and desertification. The Mediterranean is already near a critical hydrological threshold, with feedback mechanisms exacerbating warming. The region faces longer fire seasons and increased flooding risks, impacting agriculture, water supply, and ecosystems. Projections indicate worsening conditions, making the Mediterranean one of the most vulnerable areas in Europe and globally.
