Technology often moves faster than the law. This briefing highlights the legislative black holes in European climate policy that leave communities vulnerable despite advanced early warning systems. In this press conference, scientists will provide insights on how extreme fire and heat are affecting vital sectors like finance and agriculture, and why current regulations are failing to protect the public.
