caption_attribution_description: English: Increase of average yearly temperature in selected cities in Europe from 1900 to 2017.
context_page_description: Climate change in Europe describes the climate change related issues in Europe. This includes the climate politics, contribution in the global warming and the influence of the global warming in Europe.
  According to international climate experts global temperature rise should not exceed 2 °C to prevent the most dangerous consequences of the climate change. It was also made essential to halve greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide by 2050 compared to the 1990 levels. Other countries such as Brazil and China will also reduce emissions by between 80% and 95% by 2050. It is estimated that from the now living persons alive are 70% in the year 2050. Emission reduction means development and implementation of new energy technology solutions. Some people consider that the technology revolution has already started in Europe since the markets for renewable technology have annually grown.
  In the last hundred years, there has been a recorded increase in temperature of 1 °C in Europe. Although this might seem trivial, it has had huge repercussions on the global economy and in agriculture. Furthermore, "the IPCC report expects an increase of the mean global temperature by 1.8°C to 4.0°C".
