–Note: According to the ERA5 dataset of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), Europe is the fastest-warming
continent and has warmed by approximately 0.53°C per decade since the mid-1990s. Since the 1980s, Europe’s
warming has outpaced the global average by a factor of two. Several factors explain this trend: changing weather
patterns, reduced air pollution and geography (parts of Europe extend into the Arctic).

–Note: 3°C warming scenario map shows change relative to the conditions in a 0.5°C world, which represents a
historical baseline. The global average surface temperature between 1971 and 2000 was approximately 0.5°C above
that of 1850-1900. Probable Futures uses the CORDEX-CORE regional climate modelling framework.

cooling, (3) Climate-adapted agricultural inputs, (4) Climate resilient building/construction materials, (5) Built flood defence
structures and drainage solutions, (6) Emergency/essential medical services and equipment, (7) Urban and industrial
waste efficiency, (8) Climate forecasting and risk assessment, (9) Distributed energy solutions (data centres only).
