Launch event of #HeatSeason in Europe

On the 23rd of July Prof. Koundouri gave a speech at the launch of  #HeatSeason in Europe organized by the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center.

Climate change is causing global temperatures to rise, resulting in life-threatening heat waves and record highs that have devastating long-term consequences. July 2021 has already broken heat records across Europe, even in northern locations such as Finland and Norway, where physical infrastructure is not well adapted to extreme heat.

Watch the launch event of #HeatSeason in Europe to hear from climate leaders and learn about European efforts to tackle the accelerating climate threat of extreme heat here.
