Europe called 'fastest-warming continent' in new climate report
Europe is the fastest-warming continent, according to a new joint report by the WMO and ECMWF. In 2025, nearly all of Europe recorded above-average annual temperatures, leading to intense heatwaves, wildfires that scorched over 1 million hectares, and significant glacier and snow cover loss. The report warns that climate change is an urgent present reality.
