In 2024, Europe was the world’s fastest-warming continent. It had its hottest year on record, impacting an estimated 413,000 people. Sea surface temperatures also reached new highs. As our planet heats up, urgent action is more critical than ever.

Did you know that ~1.47 billion people worldwide face a high risk of severe flooding❓ The #CENTAUR team has developed #flood indicators to help improve urban flood mapping 🌊 As part of this, INFLOS, an innovative tool, was used to estimate flood depths for one of our indicators 💡

The #ESOTC2024 report is out! Explore the contrasts across Europe, from the dry and often record-warm conditions in the east to warm but wet conditions in the west. #ESOTC2024 is a joint effort between #CopernicusClimate and @wmo-global.bsky.social, together with over 100 scientists. bit.ly/3G9MdEX
