The United Kingdom has historically experienced severe flood events, including that of summer 2007, which resulted in the loss of essential services including water and energy supply, as well as the destruction of infrastructures, with estimated costs exceeding £3.2 b
The agricultural sector is affected both by negative impacts of climate change and contributes to climate change through its greenhouse-gas (GHGs) emissions. For this reason, agriculture plays a key role in defining successful adaptation and mitigation measures.
Iceland has 100% renewable electricity and heat system due to its abundant hydro- and geothermal resources.
High temperatures and heatwaves in the summer pose increasing risks to people living in Slovakian cities.
