Europe is facing extreme temperatures and wildfires, and EU officials are reluctant to impose new climate targets.

In the summer of 2025, Europe faces extreme heat waves, causing devastating wildfires in several countries. Against this backdrop, EU officials are talking about imposing new climate targets, but there are hesitations about moving forward with the proposal. As temperatures hit record highs of 46 degrees in Spain and remain high in other countries, experts warn of health risks. Heatwave warnings are being issued across Europe, including Romania, where temperatures will top 39 degrees.
