Extreme weather conditions in Europe have killed almost 195,000 people and caused economic losses of more than 560 billion euros since 1980, the European Environment Agency said Wednesday.

Of the 560 billion euros in losses, only 170 billion, or 30%, were insured, the EEA said, as it launched a new online portal collating recent data on the impact of extreme weather.

"It’s the first time the EEA has found links between cancer and the environment. The report, called 'Beating cancer - the role of Europe’s environment', estimates that environmental and occupational risks are behind around 10 per cent of cancer cases in Europe."
