欧洲今年夏季遭遇极端热浪、大规模野火和干旱。[1]这些灾难已导致超过2.5万人丧生，数十万人被迫撤离。[1]农业领域也遭受重创，法国玉米产量预计下降35%。[1]能源基础设施同样受到影响——匈牙利Paks核电站因多瑙河水位过低，被迫在25%的容量下运行。[1]
欧洲是全球升温速度最快的大陆，温度上升速度约为全球平均速度的两倍。[1]然而，在气候政策层面，欧洲却出现了倒退——过去一年有15个司法管辖区的45项气候政策被逆转。[1]
面对灾难应对的紧迫需求，决策者们正面临一个困境：投入防灾和救灾资源可能会挤压长期气候行动所需的投资。[1]联合国的研究发现，欧洲的灾难风险管理与气候适应政策之间存在明显的政策协调缺陷。[1]同时，国际气候承诺也面临压力——2015年巴黎协议的1.5°C限制目标已被普遍认为"不会被达成"。[1]
Europe's scorching summer has devastated the continent with extreme heat waves, massive wildfires, and severe drought, claiming more than 25,000 lives and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate [1]. The catastrophic conditions have exposed the mounting threats posed by climate change to the region's economy, infrastructure, and geopolitical stability [1]. Among the tangible impacts, France faces a projected 35% decline in corn production [1], while Hungary's Paks nuclear power station has been forced to operate at just 25% capacity due to dangerously low water levels in the Danube River [1].
Despite these mounting crises, Europe's climate policy momentum has stalled. Over the past year, 45 climate policies across 15 jurisdictions have been reversed [1], raising concerns about political commitment to address the underlying causes of such disasters. Meanwhile, Europe remains the world's fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising at roughly twice the global average rate [1]. A United Nations report has identified a critical policy gap, finding that disaster risk management and climate adaptation strategies across Europe remain poorly coordinated [1]. The Paris Agreement's 1.5°C warming limit "will not be achieved" [1], underscoring the urgency of sustained climate action amid immediate disaster response demands that risk diverting resources from long-term mitigation efforts.
