Climate Change Impacts in Europe

Europe is facing noticeable impacts of climate change, with warmer winters leading to less snow in the Alps and drastic weather events like floods and droughts. Despite these effects, political attitudes favoring climate action are not reflected in European elections. Extreme weather occurrences like record-breaking floods in the Netherlands and water emergencies in Spain showcase the tangible consequences of climate change in the region. Switzerland's glacier melting and the lack of significant voter support for environmental parties underline the disconnect between climate-related events and political responses.
