Heatwave Health & Climate: A record-breaking early-summer heatwave is driving school closures, transport disruptions and “red alert” warnings across Europe, with France reporting its hottest night and deaths linked to people cooling off unsupervised—another reminder that extreme heat is intensifying with global warming. EU Disaster Aid for Farmers: The EU approved over €56m from the CAP agricultural reserve to help farmers hit by storms, droughts, heatwaves and frosts, including Slovenia (€2.8m for apples) alongside Portugal, Romania, Cyprus and Croatia. Wildfire Recovery in Cyprus: Cyprus moved closer to accessing EU solidarity funds after a parliamentary budgets committee backed €9.21m to rebuild infrastructure damaged by last year’s Limassol wildfire. Nature Protection in Slovenia: Slovenia established the Snežnik Regional Park (nearly 22,000 hectares) to protect ancient fir-beech forests, karst caves and wildlife, and to support sustainable tourism and grazing. Biodiversity Rescue: Slovenia opened its first sterlet hatchery on the Mura River to restock the endangered sturgeon relative, joining Austria and Hungary in a LIFE-Boat effort to prevent extinction. Climate Action in Industry: The EU launched an auction for industrial heat decarbonization, backing 65 projects across multiple countries, including Slovenia, aiming to cut fossil-fuel heat use. Public Climate Perception: A new survey map shows people in Slovenia underestimate how seriously others view climate change, with a sizable “perception gap” that could shape how fast action gains support.
