Climate change and society

As the world grapples with the repercussions of climate change, a groundbreaking study has unveiled a new dimension of its far-reaching effects: the profound influence on the human brain.

The Municipality of Thessaloniki signed the Climate Pact in the context of the municipality's participation in the European mission for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030.

The pact was signed on Friday by Thessaloniki Mayor Konstantinos Zervas and local stakeholders and organizations.

Almost the entire world's population experienced warmer temperatures from June to August as a result of human-induced climate change, according to a research report published late on Thursday and cited by Reuters.

With the rising impact of global warming and climate change, the Black Sea region will experience increased evaporation that would potentially surpass precipitation in less than a decade, affecting the region's unique agricultural production, an expert has warned.

Greece experienced an almost 1% GDP loss as a result of the consequences of climate change, such as heatwaves and natural disasters, from the beginning of May to August 4, according to Allianz Research. The fact that this number effectively "takes away" less than half of the growth that the Greek economy is predicted to experience this year makes it incredibly significant.

More temperature records were expected to tumble on Tuesday as Europe awaited the peak of a punishing heatwave and wildfires scorched swathes of the Northern Hemisphere, forcing the evacuation of 1,200 children close to a Greek seaside resort.

An expert has raised concerns over a three-week shift in the seasons that he says is brought about by climate change, fearing that it can negatively impact crop yield and harvest.
