Climate crisis: EU loses 162 billion euros - where is politics?

Wien, Österreich - Climate change has hit Europe economically in the past three years, with losses of 162 billion euros, such as the EASAC, the umbrella organization of the European Science Academies. In a current message, it is emphasized that only 7 % of global resources are recycled, while biodiversity is at risk. The lack of political will to take urgent measures is cited as the main cause of failure to act effectively against this crisis. It is pointed out that legal hurdles and deeply rooted corporate interests represent considerable obstacles and that even misinformation and greenwashing hinder real measures.

scientific consensus on climate change

The scientific community agreed that the earth is heated and this warming is mainly due to human activities. Data show that more than 99 % of climate researchers support current consensus that human greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of the climate crisis. Studies, including those of various specialist journals and committees, confirm these consensus since the 1990s. The risks associated with the continued emission of greenhouse gases are unprecedented and require urgent measures to reduce to avoid catastrophic future effects.

The researchers demand measures such as the end of subsidizing fossil fuels, the protection of biodiversity and an improved recycling rate. Political decision -makers are asked to develop on facts based on facts and to rethink the existing economic growth models. This is the only way to contain the negative consequences of climate change and the challenges of the future, as is emphasized in the results of the Intergovernental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The appeal becomes louder; Climate change is not just a challenge, but an immediate danger that requires action.
