#SouthernEurope is roasting under another hellish #HeatWave

Shortly after southern Europe emerged from one heat wave, another one is bringing temperatures so extreme that meteorologists are naming it after a Chthonic figure from Greek mythology.

"In #Athens, the sweltering temperatures shattered previous records and pushed the mercury to extraordinary heights. The #Cerberus heat wave pushed temperatures in Athens between 98 F and 103 F (36.7 C and 39.4 C), while Rome and other major Italian cities experienced scorching conditions.

"This next wave threatens to push temperatures back up in #Rome and #Sardinia, an island in the #Mediterranean west of Italian peninsula, with potential highs of 107°F (41.7 C) and 116°F (47 C) respectively. These predictions, coupled with the increasing frequency of heat waves and the growing impact of climate change, raise concerns about the well-being of vulnerable populations and the urgency of addressing global warming.

"'As the region faces another heat wave, named #Charon, attention must be given to public health measures and climate change mitigation efforts,' AccuWeather Meteorologist Nicole LoBiondo said. "The rising frequency and intensity of heat waves serve as a stark reminder of the need to address #ClimateChange and protect vulnerable populations.'"

How can #SustainableValueCreation be facilitated also in #SMEs and #cooperatives? Much discussion about #SustainableBusiness concentrates on large listed corporations, often with an Anglo-American emphasis. At this hybrid conference, we concentrate on #EUlaw and #SouthernEurope. We bring together scholars from #SustainabilityScience, from #BusinessLaw, #Finance and #Management, discussing sustainable value creation in #Spain, #Italy, #Portugal and #Greece. Join us!
