Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Emma Howard Boyd, Chair of the National Heat Risk Commission at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE. Europe's recurring heatwaves are no longer exceptional weather events but evidence of a structural climatic transformation. Boyd argues that the continent has entered an era in which extreme heat should be understood as a systemic national risk rather than a seasonal inconvenience. Drawing on climate science, she contends that rising temperatures are unfolding largely as predicted, with Europe warming faster than many other regions and heatwaves becoming both more frequent and longer lasting.  #Heatwaves #ClimateChange #Europe 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Blues
