Furthermore the member states must o map the flood extent and assets as well as humans at risk in these areas and to take adequate and coordinated measures to reduce the risks.

Climate change

Climate change hits through water

The climate is changing and the impact is first and foremost through water. Some places will become wetter. Heavier rainfalls will occur and the sea level will rise. Flooding will become more frequent. In contrast other places will become drier and the lack of water will have serious implications. Mitigation and adaption is how to address the issues.
