AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoWildfire Crisis Across Europe: A wind-driven wildfire in Croatia’s Omis area forced about 1,000 people to evacuate and left dozens injured, with 14 hospitalised and seven in life-threatening condition, as flames swept homes and pine forests. Heatwave Pressure: The same extreme heat that pushed the UK to its hottest day of the year (38.1°C in west London) is also fuelling fires across France, Germany and the Balkans. Greece Under Highest Alert: In northern Greece’s Halkidiki, a “wall of fire” threatened Siviri and Fourka; officials sent hundreds of tourists by sea, with around 500 rescued and two firefighters hospitalised, while access to pine forests was banned amid forecasts of very strong winds. Coastal Evacuations: Across the region, evacuations are increasingly shifting from roads to boats as fire risk closes routes. Sustainable Response: Greece is also moving on longer-term resilience, including a new monitoring system for 10,743 small-scale fishing vessels to support sustainable coastal fisheries. Urban Greening: The Ellinikon Park project in Athens is set to turn the former airport into a major green space with large-scale tree planting and water-saving irrigation.
