    Regardless of the metric, the message is clear: heatwaves are becoming an increasing challenge, due to climate change. The question is, are we prepared? Read the Copernicus Climate report: climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-te… Is Europe prepared?👉discomap.eea.europa.eu/ClimatePrepare…

    Environmental pressures like heatwaves, wildfires, winter inversions and Saharan dust still trigger widespread air pollution episodes, e.g. elevated ozone levels or unsafe levels of PM2.5, affecting millions of people, reminding us that climate and air quality are closely linked.
