    Europe’s heat dome furnace returns: Brutal 40+ °C record heatwave builds into August

    High-resolution global ensemble weather models hint at potentially historic thermal anomalies, setting the stage for yet another record-challenging heatwave for the 2026 summer. Heat will expand across most of Europe by end of July continuing into August.

    Voluntary Commitments

    The organization has no registered commitments.

    The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
