Recent heavy rains have caused severe flooding in various parts of Europe, including Italy, the United Kingdom, and Central Europe. These floods have resulted in massive disruptions, including the disappearance of tourists, rescues, road closures, and train suspensions.

Studies indicate that climate change has significantly increased the likelihood and intensity of such extreme weather events. The World Weather Attribution revealed that climate change has doubled the probability of heavy rains in Central Europe, leading to devastating floods that have caused fatalities, infrastructure damage, and power outages.

Activists and scientists warn that the costs of these climate catastrophes are likely to escalate unless urgent climate action is taken. The frequency and severity of these events emphasize the need for robust climate policies to mitigate future risks and protect communities from the escalating impact of climate change.
