    Post-Paris Agreement Emissions Intensified Europe’s Heatwave

    Research highlights

    Greenhouse Gas Emissions Since 2015 Made Europe’s 2025 Heatwave One-Third of a Degree Hotter

    Fossil fuel emissions released since countries adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015 intensified Europe’s 2025 heatwave. Without those emissions, the heatwave would have been about one-third of a degree cooler.

    How emissions intensified the 2025 European heatwave

    Greenhouse gases released since 2015 contributed to the severity of Europe’s recent heatwave. The period began when countries adopted the Paris Agreement to curb global warming.

    Researchers found that the 2025 heatwave would have been approximately one-third of a degree cooler without greenhouse gas emissions released since 2015.
