Climate change and economic gap in Europe
The consequences of climate change on regions with little ability to adapt to damage caused mainly by drought and heat waves could increase the economic differences between rich and poor nations in Europe, since the average temperature monitored in the last decade would be of 1.3 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial level, by reaching a new record. This type of vulnerability would not only impact on the territory, but also on social cohesion for the effect of increasing costs to cope with natural disasters such as floods, storms and severe heat waves. At the global level, there is still an increase in emissions of greenhouse gases despite the global recession, which stops only part of the production system that waits for any possible restarting and the so-called "green" initiatives still constitute a small percentage of the total.
