Confirmed
In Short: The European Environment Agency (EEA) highlights the increasing health risks from rising temperatures and extreme weather, launching new data viewers and a special cities report on climate targets.
Rising temperatures and extreme weather events are posing significant threats to health and well-being in Europe, according to the European Environment Agency (EEA). To address these challenges, the EEA has developed two new Observatory data viewers that showcase how rising temperatures are impacting schools and healthcare facilities across the continent today and in the future.
On September 10, 2026, the Lancet Countdown Europe will release a special cities report, which will track the progress of European cities in meeting net zero targets and assess the impact of these efforts on public health and resilience.
The EEA also emphasizes the importance of Europe's coasts, which support health and economic activities and provide essential ecosystems. Additionally, the agency is organizing a training course in collaboration with ASPHER and the European Climate and Health Observatory to enhance knowledge and skills in this field.
