Last update: 6 hours agoHeatwave Crisis: A deadly Europe-wide heatwave driven by an “omega block” has pushed temperatures past 40°C, with France reporting 40 drowning deaths as people tried to cool off in rivers and canals; authorities warn against swimming in unsafe spots while schools and transport are disrupted. Climate Costs: New research says compound heat-and-drought events are already cutting European household incomes and widening inequality, with worse losses expected as warming increases.

Urban Energy Pressure: Forty mayors worldwide backed a pact to shape how data centers are built and run, aiming to protect city resources, energy prices and climate targets. Greece Angle: Greece’s firefighting capacity is being tested as high wildfire risk is flagged, while local efforts continue—from Athens’ emergency mutual-aid deployments to community initiatives.
