Un calcul rece și un avertisment dramatic pentru economie, în toiul valurilor de căldură extremă care au lovit Europa vara aceasta

Extreme heat waves in Europe are projected to significantly impact economic growth, with estimates suggesting a 0.3% reduction in GDP due to recent heat events. Climate change is expected to further decrease growth by 5-7% by 2030 in vulnerable economies like Spain, France, and Italy. The ongoing heat has already caused severe disruptions in energy, agriculture, and public health, leading to substantial economic losses. Experts warn that the effects of these extreme weather events will escalate in the coming years, affecting tourism and increasing food prices, particularly in southern Europe. Governments are urged to move beyond ad-hoc emergency measures to address these challenges effectively.
