The GreenWave Podcast by Synergy International: How Extreme Heat Is Draining Europe’s Economy

Join SYNI, your hostess turning top the heat on sever weather, for Episode 79 titled “The Heat Bill: How Extreme Heat Is Draining Europe’s Economy.” This summer, hundreds of millions of people will have their own anecdote about the onslaught of extraordinarily high temperatures. Heat and intense rainfall arrive through different weather mechanisms, but the economic exposure is shared. Roads, buildings, power systems, farms and public services were designed around older ranges of temperature and rainfall, and those design tolerances are being pushed hard. Resilience to global warming has entered operational economics, project finance and industrial competitiveness. The final point is simple. The heat bill arrives whether parliament votes for it or not, and the money will either build stronger assets or disappear into lost output, emergency relief, medical care and repeated repair. Stay cool and enjoy!
