Ever wondered who is making severe heatwaves worse – or even possible?🤔🔥

A groundbreaking study by #SPARCCLE researchers shows that GHG emissions from just 180 fossil fuel and cement producers have significantly intensified global heatwaves.

🔥🔥Wildfires are becoming longer, stronger, and more destructive. A new study in Environmental Research: Climate, co-authored by #SPARCCLE researchers, shows that addressing social and economic vulnerability across countries will be a key factor in mitigating the scale of resulting financial damage.

This year’s #WorldPopulationDay highlights declining fertility rates and the wide-ranging impact this trend has on sustainable development. Within the #SPARCCLE project, we are working to better understand these demographic developments by producing sub-national population projections across Europe.

🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊

❓ Did you know that our oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans? This vital process helps buffer the impacts of global warming, making our oceans essential allies in the fight against climate change.

🌡️ 2024 was the warmest year on record for Europe. But we still have the power to change the course.

This #EarthDay, we reaffirm our commitment to building a climate resilient Europe through the #SPARCCLE project.

Let's celebrate our planet by protecting its future. 🌍 🌱

Heat stress🌡️is dangerous for everyone, but pregnant women🤰are especially vulnerable.
In #SPARCCLE, we work on assessments that would help us better understand where Europe’s most vulnerable women are and how climate-intensified heat stress may impact them. #WorldHealthDay

As the planet gets hotter due to climate change, our frozen world is shrinking, making the water cycle more unpredictable and extreme.
Together, let's protect our frozen reserves. #WorldWaterDay
