Extreme weather in Europe has become a major concern in recent years, as the frequency and intensity of natural phenomena increases. From prolonged heat waves to heavy rains that cause major floods, the impact of extreme weather is felt in various aspects of people’s lives. One of the biggest impacts is on the agricultural sector. The intense heat wave caused a decrease in yields in rice, vegetable and fruit crops. Farmers face difficulties in producing quality products, and food prices soar. In France and Spain, for example, grape yields have experienced drastic declines, which has had an impact on the wine industry. Floods caused by extreme rainfall have also resulted in huge losses. In Germany, massive floods last year submerged cities, damaged infrastructure, and caused loss of life. The local government must spend a large budget for infrastructure restoration and assistance for affected communities. Extreme weather also has a significant impact on public health. Rising temperatures are causing a surge in cases of heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke. Many states are reporting an increase in hospital visits due to this condition. In addition, rapid weather changes can worsen air pollution, triggering respiratory problems for people, especially in big cities such as London and Paris. The impact on the ecosystem cannot be ignored either. Weather changes alter the natural habitats of many species, threatening biodiversity. Mountain habitats in Switzerland and the Alps underwent drastic changes, resulting in the migration of species to higher areas. Flora and fauna that are unable to adapt are at risk of extinction. In the energy sector, extreme weather affects energy supply and consumption. Rising temperatures could increase demand for air conditioning, while strong winds and storms could damage renewable energy infrastructure, such as wind turbines. For example, in Denmark, storm damage significantly halted wind energy production, increasing dependence on fossil fuels. This condition has encouraged a number of European countries to take more aggressive action in dealing with climate change. Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of renewable energy are at the top of the government’s agenda. Countries such as Sweden and Germany are committed to achieving net-zero emissions targets, while the European Union sets its strategy through the Green Deal. Meanwhile, society is also experiencing changes in lifestyle. Awareness of the impacts of climate change encourages individuals to be more responsive to the environment. Many are switching to environmentally friendly transportation such as bicycles and electric vehicles, and are increasingly concerned about energy consumption at home. Through collaboration between government, the private sector and society, efforts to reduce the impact of extreme weather can be carried out more effectively. This success depends on the application of innovative technology and a strong collective awareness to protect the environment and prepare for future challenges.
