World Meteorological Organization says Europe presents ‘a live picture of a warming world’ with trend set to continue
The WMO acknowledges some countries in Europe have reduced greenhouse gas emissions, which if achieved at scale would help reduce temperatures. EU emissions decreased 31 per cent between 1990 and 2020.
WMO secretary general Prof Petteri Taalas said Europe is making good progress on cutting carbon emission, but more should be done: “Europe can play a key role towards achieving a carbon-neutral society by the middle of the century to meet the Paris Agreement,” he said. With such changes, Northern Europe will see more heavy winter rain, bringing flooding, while the Mediterranean droughts seen in Southern Europe in summer will become ever more common further northwards.
