EU Civil Protection Mechanism
EU Civil Protection Mechanism launches preparations for possible extreme weather events for 2024 in the face of climate change
On 30 November Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič (pictured) met the Italian Civil Protection and Sea Policies Minister Nello Musumeci, for the opening session of the European Civil Protection Mechanism “lessons learnt” meeting on wildfires and floods.
The meeting involves 54 representatives from 30 European countries that are part of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. Together they will identify and share lessons and good practices from the Mechanism's deployments not only in Europe but also in Bolivia, Canada, Chile or Tunisia in 2023. Unlike previous years, today's meeting will go beyond wildfires and will focus also on floods, following this summer's extreme weather events.
The outcome of discussions will be used to further improve the EU's response, as well incorporate relevant findings into trainings. While climate change is difficult to reverse, we must be better prepared to address its consequences and minimise the effects.
During his visit to Italy, Commissioner Lenarčič is also meeting with the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, and the Holy See's Secretary for Relations with States, Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher.
