2024年是欧洲有记录以来最热的一年,伴随着极端天气事件

Copernicus Climate Change Service and World Meteorological Organization, 15 April 2025

2024 was Europe’s warmest year on record, with estimated losses from storms and flooding alone reaching €18.2 billion, revealed the annual climate report published by the EU’s Copernicus Programme and WMO. The report consolidates 40 datasets to track the impacts of climate change on cities and communities across the continent. In 2024, Europe endured a stark east-west climate contrast, with the east experiencing extreme heatwaves and droughts, while the west faced extremely hot and humid conditions alongside intense flooding. More than 413,000 people were affected by storms and flooding, 42,000 by wildfires, and soaring temperatures across Europe set the second highest number of head stress days and tropical nights on record. Despite these challenges, Europe saw a record high in renewable energy generation, reaching 45% of the total electricity supply. The report indicates that European cities are making progress in their efforts towards climate adaptation, yet continued efforts are needed to protect frontline communities against growing wildfire hazards, storm surges, flooding, droughts and heatwaves.
