Western Europe braces for more extreme heat as temperatures continue to climb.

Western Europe sweltered under a punishing heatwave on Friday with temperatures expected to climb further in the coming days, prompting authorities across the continent to issue warnings and brace for prolonged extreme weather.

An “intense and long-lasting” heatwave could see temperatures in Paris soar above 40C for the first time on a June day.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🧊🌊 #Calving is the term for when large pieces of #ice break off #glaciers in a thunderous, impressive spectacle, creating new #icebergs.

This #video of #Monacobreen, a tidewater glacier in #Svalbard, #Norway, provides a good demonstration of calving and the #waves it can create.

How wildly the temperatures have changed (relative to the average) in #Vienna over the past 25 years.

La #climatisation est-elle devenue une solution incontournable pour faire face aux vagues de chaleur ?
Si de plus en plus de Français s’équipent, cette technologie reste associée à l’idée qu’elle constituerait une « maladaptation » au #réchauffementclimatique. Un argument remis en cause par certains experts, alors que la France affronte des températures exceptionnelles.

#Canicule : le grand bricolage de l’ #éducationnationale, symbole de l’inadaptation de la France au #réchauffementclimatique
Horaires aménagés, voire établissements fermés, familles incitées à garder leurs enfants, oraux d’examens reportés et multiplications des cellules de crise dans les mairies et les rectorats… Ces derniers jours, et alors que les prochains s’annoncent encore plus chauds, un sentiment d’improvisation prévaut. Aucune mesure nationale n’a été prise.

‘Over 80% of rural women unaware of climate finance opportunities’

Despite the existence of climate, agriculture and women’s economic empowerment policies at both national and state levels, stakeholders say weak implementation, limited awareness & financing barriers have continued to prevent many women from benefiting from government interventions

Can the climate budget be just if resilience is ‘subsidised’ by women’s unpaid care work?

But adequacy is only part of the story. A more fundamental issue lies in how climate resilience is actually produced. Public discussions tend to focus on embankments, infrastructure, disaster systems, and renewable energy. These investments are essential, but they capture only a portion of what makes adaptation possible in practice

Global climate change, ecological disruption, and increasing human mobility are converging to reshape infectious disease risk, as illustrated by recent hantavirus-associated cases linked to South American cruise routes.

Small Climate Investments Can Save Billions, Report Finds

The study finds that spending less than 10 percent of an infrastructure asset's value on targeted adaptation measures can protect assets worth several times that amount
