Official sources (WMO, Copernicus) describe Europe specifically as the fastest-warming CONTINENT, not region; the Copernicus ESOTC 2025 report simultaneously notes that 'the fastest-warming region on Earth is the Arctic' (Arctic amplification), so a strictly literal reading of 'region' would point to the Arctic.
