Nicosia:Almost half of Cypriot households could be at risk of poverty by the end of the century if current global warming trends continue without climate adaptation measures.

According to Cyprus News Agency, a new study published in the academic journal Global Environmental Change reveals that income losses in Cyprus due to heatwaves and droughts exceed the European Union average.

The study highlights the urgent need for climate adaptation strategies to mitigate the economic impact on Cyprus, as the country faces higher-than-average challenges from climate-related events.
