…La-Chaux-de-Fonds is the main center of Swiss watchmaking.

Also, the computer-generated narration utterly mangles the town’s name.

Climate Change the most, at least for now.

European countries rely on tourism (who wants to travel to areas 95° on your vacation?). They also have exports from various areas that have produced cheese, wine, ham, etc for the rest of the world. These areas combine centuries of old soil, cultivated atmospheres of specific humidly and drying and aging. It is a fine art. What will happen to countries' exports?
