GRA recent study conducted by researchers at the National Observatory of Athens highlights the increasing frequency of weather-related hazards in Greece over the past 25 years. The study, titled 'Impact-Based Analysis of Weather-Related Hazards in Greece (2000-2025)', documents 626 weather events that caused significant societal and economic impacts, including deadly floods, severe storms, and heavy snowfall. These events, which range from low to high intensity, show a notable rise in severity and frequency, with high-intensity events accounting for nearly half of all recorded incidents. Researchers attribute this trend to both climate change and growing local vulnerability. The study notes that floods and sudden rainstorms account for the majority of fatalities, while heat-related deaths are excluded due to attribution challenges. The findings underscore the urgent need for improved disaster preparedness and resilience.
