BRUSSELS, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past decade, extreme climate-related events caused over €145 billion in economic losses across the EU. A new report from industry body Eurelectric documents the amplitude and acceleration of extreme weather impacts on the power sector. In July 2021, floods in Belgium and Germany resulted in 200 000 customer outages. During the winter 2021-2022, storms in the UK and Ireland led to over one million households being without power.

It estimates the impact of each on global food insecurity.
These include a concerted effort to keep food trade open with Ukraine and Russia despite sanctions and other wartime considerations.
