Europe’s rainfall is diverging, with wetter north and drier Mediterranean, raising risks of droughts, floods and water stress across southern Europe

The key characteristics that define the 40% of Greeks who, according to a study, are negative or reserved toward the scientific explanations for environmental changes

Governments, employers and unions agree on first international framework to address workplace safety amid extreme weather, recognizing climate change as a growing occupational hazard.

A new scientific study warns that one of the world’s most important ocean systems may weaken far more sharply this century than previously suggested, raising concern over future climate risks for Europe, the Atlantic region and beyond

Greece faced particularly severe conditions, with an estimated 85% of the population exposed to extreme temperatures approaching or surpassing 40°C. The highest recorded temperature reached 44°C.

A rare tropical angelfish has been recorded in Greek waters for the first time, off southern Crete. Scientists say the sighting may signal a wider shift already underway in the Mediterranean.

Wildfires burned more than 2.2 million hectares across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa in 2025, with the EU recording its worst fire year on record. Greece avoided historic wildfire losses, but nearly 49,000 hectares still burned- including in protected areas.

The World Meteorological Organization reports extreme warming, with 2025 ranking among the top three hottest years, warning of severe glacier loss and escalating climate emergency

UN climate chief warns Europe’s reliance on imported oil and gas fuels insecurity and price volatility, calling for urgent shift to renewable energy to shield economies from geopolitical shocks

The National Strategy aims to safeguard archaeological sites and monuments with digital tools, preventive infrastructure, and adaptation plans, addressing fire, floods, heat, drought, and sea-level rise risks linked to climate change

The research found that most assessments misalign sea-level measurements with land elevation data, potentially underestimating exposure to future flooding

Strong winds, a deep low-pressure system, and tidal forces caused severe flooding in Greek coastal towns, highlighting risks from rising sea levels. While climate change didn’t trigger this event directly, it is amplifying the impact of such storms

“The sharp rise observed between 2023 and 2025 was extreme and points to an acceleration in the pace of global warming,” Berkeley Earth scientists said.

The last decade has been marked by record temperatures, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and extreme heat that is becoming the new normal.

European Union scientists say 2025 may rank as the world’s second or third hottest year, marking three consecutive years above 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels and highlighting the accelerating impacts of climate change

The government warns that a potential failure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could trigger extreme cold in Europe and disrupt global weather patterns, prompting coordinated national preparedness measures

As COP30 begins in Belém, Brazil, the Paris Agreement faces its most difficult test yet — rising emissions, record heat, and geopolitical divisions that threaten the future of global climate cooperation
