The extreme heat affecting Europe and the warnings issued by the Copernicus Programme were at the heart of Prof. Andrea Taramelli’s contribution to “Caffè Europa” on Rai Radio 1, a programme dedicated to European current affairs and EU policies.

Professor at the IUSS School for Advanced Studies in Pavia and Italian delegate to the European User Forum of the Copernicus Programme, Andrea Taramelli joined the segment focusing on the extreme climate conditions affecting the continent in recent weeks and on possible measures to address their impacts.

The interview offered an opportunity to bring Copernicus data beyond technical channels and into the public debate, contributing to dialogue between science, institutions and society. Earth observation data thus become part of the broader public conversation on climate and a valuable tool for understanding phenomena that increasingly have a direct impact on territories and people’s lives.

The episode also explored the priorities of the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the impact of extreme heat on working conditions across the EU.
