Protesters hold placards during a "Look up" march, to call on the presidential candidates to take into account the climate emergency, which protesters say is largely absent from the election campaign, less than two weeks after a warning from UN climate experts and a month before the presidential election, in Paris on March 12, 2022. - According to the organisers, nearly 150 marches are expected to take place across France, supported by NGOs, associations or other groups. The protests are dubbed "Look up" in reference to the film "Don't look up", a metaphor for the climate crisis that has been a hit on Netflix.

Part of the Guadiana river has dried up and gives way to dry land under the Puente de la Mesta medieval bridge in Villarta de los Montes, in the central-western Spanish region of Extremadura, on August 16, 2022. - Temperatures in Spain have been very high this summer with several unusual heat waves. Scientists say human-induced climate change is making extreme weather events including heatwaves and droughts more frequent and more intense.
