## Resource

Wildfires are exploding across Greece, fueled by brutal winds and extreme heat, forcing mass evacuations near Athens as Europe’s summer of scorching temperatures and drought intensifies. In France, a fire reignited in the Var region, devouring over 1,000 hectares in just six hours and displacing 2,500 people. Spain grapples with new blazes amid stalled efforts to contain others, including a suspected arson case with two ignition points. Beyond flames, record-breaking heat has claimed thousands of lives in Austria, France, Germany, and the UK, while critically low Danube water levels are crippling nuclear and hydropower in Hungary and Serbia—and grinding to a halt river transport across multiple nations.
