After a summer of wildfires in Europe, nine Mediterranean nations have vowed to step up efforts to deal with extreme weather caused by the climate crisis.
France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia and Greece signed a deal that will see them intensify their response to wildfires. The countries will also share expertise and technology in a bid to build more resilient ecosystems.
“The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat; it has landed firmly on our shores,” said the Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
