This summer's extreme weather cost #Europe at least €43bn and that's without the record-breaking wildfires in southern Europe. The threat of #wildfires will only intensify; just fighting the flames isn't enough. We need a radical shift from suppression to prevention: easac.eu/publications...

Europe’s summer of extreme weather caused €43bn of short-term losses, analysis finds
Greatest damage from heat, drought and flooding done in Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Bulgaria
The violent weather that battered Europe this summer caused short-term economic losses of at least €43bn, according to an EU-wide estimate, with costs expected to rise to €126bn by 2029.
The immediate hit to the economy from a single brutal summer of heat, drought and flooding amounted to 0.26% of the EU’s economic output in 2024, according to the rapid analysis, which has not been submitted for peer review but is based on relationships between weather and economic data that were published in an academic study this month.
