The European Union intends to oblige the countries of the bloc to prepare for a warming of 3 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial levels, writes the Financial Times in reference to the European Commission project. Governments will have to take this scenario into account when planning policies and investments, and identify the authorities responsible for managing climate risks in different sectors of the economy. According to European Climate Commissioner Wofke Hoekstra, reducing emissions alone is not enough to protect people from floods, heat and fires. This summer, the high temperatures contributed to the death of about 50 thousand people in Europe - much more than in the record year 2022, when the figure stood at 29 thousand.
