In the past 40 years, Europe had lost 776.5 billion yuan due to extreme weather.

The European Environment Agency announced on Thursday announced on Thursday announced on Thursday announced on Thursday on Thursday on ThursdayThe report shows that in the past 40 years, extreme weather such as heat waves and floods has led to nearly 510 billion euros (S $ 776.5 billion) in Europe, and has taken 14,200 people.The

Report pointed out that from 1980 to 2020, the economic loss caused by only 3%of the total number of extreme events accounted for about 60%of the total loss.

In terms of human casualties, the number of deaths caused by heat waves accounted for 91%of the total. In the summer of 2003, the heat waves killed about 80,000 people.

The report also said that the number of deaths caused by similar heat waves after 2003 is significantly reduced because countries and individuals have adopted adaptive measures, such as installing air conditioners.

Germany is the largest European country. In the past 40 years, the loss due to extreme weather has reached up to RMB 107 million, and 4,200 people have died.

The second is France, with a loss of 99 billion euros, and 26,700 people are killed. The third place is Italy, with a loss of 90 billion euros, and 2,600 people were killed.

The European Environmental Agency expert Vannavir pointed out that the data of Europe in the past 40 years cannot be clearly determined that the increase in extreme weather is caused by climate change, because the situation recorded in different years is irregular.

He said that recent research, especially the research by the special committee of the United Nations Intergovernmental Climate Change (IPCC), shows that the frequency and severity of disasters such as drought and forest fires are more likely to connect with climate change to change.However, other weather disasters, such as hail, still lack evidence that it is related to climate change.

Vannavir said: "Some weather conditions such as non -tropical storms, European climate signals are not clear, so it is unclear whether such extreme weather will increase ... But other conditions suchIt will exacerbate, not only in the Mediterranean, but in most European regions. "
