CHAPTER

Climate Change and Political Paradox in Europe

This chapter explores the tangible impacts of climate change across Europe, focusing on the disappointing ski season in the Alps and extreme weather events like floods and droughts. It highlights the paradox of declining political support for pro-environment parties despite evident climate issues, as well as the temporary increase in voter support for climate policies following these events. The chapter delves into the adaptive measures taken by ski resorts and the complex relationship between public perception, political choices, and climate action.
