AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoHeatwave Crisis: Europe’s most severe late-June heatwave is pushing east again, with Slovakia hitting a new record 41°C (Turna nad Bodvou) and Czechia reaching 41.9°C (Doksany), while Ukraine orders emergency power cuts as demand spikes. Public Health Impact: The WHO says the heat has already been linked to 1,300+ excess deaths since June 21, warning that extreme heat is becoming a “silent killer” as homes, schools and workplaces aren’t built for these temperatures. Next-Week Forecast: Western Europe is bracing for another round early next week (July 5–6), even as some areas briefly ease. Cybersecurity (Slovakia-linked): Slovak firm ESET reports the Gamaredon group ran 35 spear-phishing campaigns targeting Ukraine, using archive tricks and startup-folder persistence. Energy Transition: The EU approved a major energy storage deployment target (ramping from ~12 GW in 2025 toward ~45 GW by 2026–2028) to cut gas exposure and boost renewables. Local Tech & Policy: Slovakia’s Vision 2040 highlights energy strengths (clean electricity generation, nuclear-led power) but flags demographic and public finance challenges.
