Swiss Re Institute is issuing a warning about the increasing and chronic heat risks in Europe, noting that the continent is warming at nearly twice the global rate. The report highlights that Europe is less prepared for extreme heat than other regions, with low air conditioning penetration, leading to reduced agricultural and labor productivity, strained infrastructure, and increased wildfire risk. The insurance industry is bracing for a new era of climate-related risks, with recent wildfires in Southern Europe causing significant economic damage and disrupting critical supply chains like the Rhine River.
