More than 85% of these casualties were linked to heatwaves. Economic losses from weather and climate-related extremes in Europe reached around half a trillion euros during the same period. ------- ??? ??Los fenómenos climáticos extremos como tormentas, olas de calor e inundaciones, reclamaron entre 85,000 y 145,000 vidas en toda Europa en los últimos 40 a?os.

Renewable energy has broad bipartisan support, including in many conservative states that value its competitive costs and its power to energize economies, bringing prosperity and jobs. Adoption of clean alternatives continues to gain ground, especially in states like Florida, Texas, and California, cornered by high fossil fuel costs and with enormous potential to develop more affordable and healthier alternatives. At VoLo Foundation, we reaffirm our commitment. We will continue working for a transition to a sustainable energy system, with lasting jobs and resilient communities.?This climate crisis affects everyone, regardless of political preferences. Climate change demands responsibility and urgent action. Read more ?? https://lnkd.in/ewKg9vUp #Statement #VoLoFoundation #ClimateCrisis
