Countries such as #Greece are experiencing tropical weather. In the past years, the country had to face numerous wildfires, but also floods, which resulted in huge land loss, economical damage, and lost lives. The Greek government is introducing new climate laws, which aim at mitigation and adaptation, including reaching carbon neutrality by 2050, transitioning to renewable energy sources by 2030 and reducing greenhouse gasses.
However, information about the population at risk is unavailable throughout Europe. For this reason, IMPETUS is developing a ‘Hot-spot Identification and Prioritisation Service’, a tool that will allow researchers to locate areas that are at a higher risk, and it will combine climate data with satellite information on population.
