欧洲正面临大规模野火危机。法国西南部吉伦特地区的火灾已烧毁420平方公里松林[1]，约198000人获准返家[1]，这可能是法国最大的平时撤离事件[1]。然而危机并未解除，法国和西班牙的火灾高峰期曾驱散约330000人[1]。
新的威胁正在浮现。瓦尔地区的大火在六小时内蔓延10平方公里[1]，且在被宣布"固定"后数小时内再度蔓延1250公顷[1]。与此同时，希腊波尔图日尔梅诺度假村也陷入火海，约300人通过海上撤离[1]，1300名消防员已部署应对[1]。希腊火灾估计影响40至50平方公里，预计阵风达88公里/小时[1]。
气候变化正在加剧欧洲的野火危机。欧洲是全球升温最快的大陆，自1980年代以来的升温速度是全球平均水平的两倍多[1]，这导致干旱加剧，火灾蔓延更快更猛烈[1]。
Europe is confronting an escalating wildfire emergency as conditions worsen across the continent. In southwestern France, the Gironde fire has consumed 420 square kilometers of pine forest, and approximately 198,000 residents have been permitted to return to their homes.[1] However, the reprieve is temporary, as new blazes are forcing fresh evacuations: a rapidly spreading fire in the Var region expanded by 10 square kilometers in just six hours,[1] and a fire declared "stabilized" reignited and spread across 1,250 hectares within hours.[1] Greece is also facing severe threats, with approximately 300 people evacuated by sea from the Porto Germeno resort area, where 1,300 firefighters have been deployed.[1] Authorities estimate the Greek fires are affecting 40 to 50 square kilometers and anticipate wind gusts reaching 88 kilometers per hour.[1]
The scale of displacement across the region underscores the intensity of the crisis. France and Spain have seen approximately 330,000 people evacuated during peak fire season, making the current French evacuations potentially the country's largest civilian evacuation in peacetime.[1] Climate change is a driving factor in the severity and speed of the fires; Europe is warming faster than any other continent globally, with temperatures rising more than twice the global average rate since the 1980s, intensifying drought conditions that fuel rapid fire spread.[1]
