Portugal among the European countries most affected by extreme weather events | climatic climate
Portugal is one of the European countries most affected by extreme weather events in the last 40 years, in terms of premature and economic deaths, according to a report released this Thursday.
According to a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA), extreme weather events, phenomena that are expected to increase in the coming years as a result of climate change, cost 142 thousand euros and almost 510 billion in Europe in the last 40 years.
These include meteorological phenomena such as extremist storms, hydrological phenomena such as heat waves, heat waves and droughts.
In a list of 32 countries countries.
On the other hand, extreme weather events in the last four decades in the country amounted to 13.4 million euros, with the last 7 million euros in Portugal in economic insurance (478 million occupying only 478 million insurance countries, the country occupying the country of indicators covering, o the 16th place).
This environmental data was highlighted as a statement, warning of the costs of recent climate change. “These countries most affected by climate data that Portugal is associated with are associated with the same countries pointed to the same climate data or the same climate phenomenon to climate change in progress”, meteorological the association.
Losses between 100,000 and 200,000 euros per square kilometer
The AEA report even though between 1980 and 2020, as change2020, represents, on average, climate costs of 25 to 37.50 euros per person, per year, and that Portugal is one of the countries where the impact on GDP is more pronounced , representing 1.5% to 2.5% between 2005 and 2014.
With losses between 00,000 and 200,000 euros per square kilometer, Portugal is also among the countries with the highest meteorological values in this indicator and, on the other hand, with less damage from event insurance (less than 5% of the damage value) .
In view of these, Zero considers that data are essential to ensure the implementation of measures to adapt to climate change and to appeal for adherence to meteorological insurance that cover extreme meteorological events.
It proposes the optimization of the national adaptation of adaptation also to climate change, promoting an adaptation to the changes of the Autenticas and the mitigation goals of plans of changes, adaptation and energy plans for plans of planned plans 2050, and to develop adaptation regions 2024, with plans of poverty from greenhouse gases.
In global terms, the AEA report, which has the financial data of the CATDAT organization, points out that the financial data of the CATDAT organization are very serious, concentrating a large part of the cost losses of 3% of the calculated disasters: 3% of the calculated financial disasters are those responsible for about 6-1980-2020.
Weather events such as heat waves, but also periods of cold, droughts or fires are responsible for the total number of deaths and 22% of financial insurance. As human people are much smaller in floods, but these were the ones that caused the biggest total disasters, 44% ahead of storms (34%).
