CLIMATE Romanian president Klaus Iohannis on Monday said the latest UN
\nreport on climate change must be an alarm signal for everybody adding that he
\nwould get actively involved in all the processes aimed at solving the climate
\ncrisis. The Romanian president says that firm action is needed and that must be
\ncoordinated at national, European and international levels in order for the right
\npublic policies to be implemented. The magnitude and fast pace of these
\nhuman-induced changes do not allow us to postpone decisions and measures to
\ncurb their dramatic effects, president Iohannis wrote in a Facebook message. According
\nto the UN latest report on climate published on Monday, mankind will be facing
\na significant rise in temperatures, heavy rainfalls in some areas and drought
\ncaused by greenhouse gases. The UN experts believe the tendency is affecting
\nevery inhabited area while some changes, such as increased sea levels, are to
\nbe seen for hundreds and even thousands of years. ‘It is unequivocal’ the
\nreport says, ‘that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land’. Scientists
\nsay that if carbon emissions are halved by 2030, their devastating effects can
\nbe stopped. Britain is to stage a major conference on climate change in Glasgow
\nover October 31st – November 12th. <\/p>\n

\nRomanian firefighters continue their mission in the Spatari area on the Greek
\nisland of Evia. The intervention is facilitated by six fire engines, two tanks,
\nand six rescuers whose mission is to ensure the supply of trucks with water and
\nuse chainsaws to create corridors that help contain the fires. According
\nto the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, Romanian firefighters use
\ndrones to monitor new fire outbreaks. These are the deadliest fires in Greek
\nhistory and have devastated northern Evia, burning down more than 35,000
\nhectares of pine forest and hundreds of homes. Thousands of residents and
\ntourists have been evacuated by sea from the affected regions. In another
\ndevelopment, two planes of Romanian Air Forces have joined the firefighting
\nefforts in neighboring North Macedonia, a country also affected by forest
\nfires. The Romanian firefighters accomplished three missions on Monday and nine
\nmissions since their deployment three days ago. <\/p>\n
