A recent heatwave in Poland has exposed critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, according to Professor Mariusz Figurski. The expert warns the country is not adequately prepared for prolonged periods of extreme heat. Figurski estimates a lack of rapid adaptation to rising temperatures could cost the Polish economy up to 124 billion złoty annually by 2050. The record-breaking temperatures highlight a systemic failure in preparing for the impacts of climate change. This includes insufficient investment in resilient infrastructure and emergency response systems. Failure to address these issues poses a significant threat to Poland’s future economic stability. The warning serves as a call to action for increased preparedness and investment.
