Extreme weather and green energy on the rise in Europe

The 2025 European State of the Climate report, published by the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service and the World Meteorological Organization, documents unprecedented extreme weather across Europe including record heatwaves, wildfires, drought, ice loss, and record-high sea surface temperatures, with 95% of the continent seeing above-average temperatures and nearly 63,000 heat-related deaths recorded in 2024. Concurrently, renewables supplied nearly half of Europe's electricity in 2025, marking the first time wind and solar edged out fossil fuels in the EU, with solar power growing by over 20% for the fourth consecutive year and contributing 13% of the continent's electricity.
