Europe fights the monkeypox outbreak with unequal defences
In their latest investigation, Civio reports that only two European Union member states had strategic reserves of the most effective and safe vaccine against monkeypox, a smallpox-like virus.
- According to Civio's research, from the beginning of May to the middle of July, at least 7,665 cases have been reported in the EU, one thousand more than the WHO reports.
- The most affected countries in the EU are Spain (2,895 cases), Germany (1,859), France (912), the Netherlands (549), and Portugal (515).

An interactive map on climate warming in Europe
The extraordinary heat these days is in line with a decades-long trend, as we have shown in a 2020 analysis that looked at the average temperature increase for about 100,000 municipalities in Europe. Data on the mean temperatures at the local level indicate that global warming has been affecting almost every corner of Europe, as mean temperatures have increased by more than 2°C between the 1960s and the 2010s. You can browse the map and find your municipality here.
Also, we have recently been started working – along with other partners across Europe – on FIRE-RES, a research project that focuses on wildfires. If you would like to know more about it, here is the link to the website and twitter page.
