Climate change is wreaking catastrophe worldwide. We already know it damages communities that are already vulnerable and that the rising temperatures are devastating ecosystems across the planet, disintegrating life-sustaining food chains and biomes. Less well known is that Europe will heat up faster than any other continent according to the IPCC, the UN climate watchdog. It is already suffering shocks to its economies and its people, not just through natural disasters but through more gradual and subtle effects as well.
