Europe has become the fastest-warming continent in the world, and this reality is increasingly dragging down its economic prospects.

Over the next few years, governments must invest tens of billions of euros to help people cope with the increasingly dangerous heatwave. Right now, high temperatures have begun to reduce labor productivity, impact industrial production, and cause a large number of deaths.
