EUROPEAN AND MEDITERRANEAN MAJOR HAZARDS AGREEMENT (EUR-OPA)European and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement • July 10th, 2010
The impact on people, property, livelihoods, heritage and the environment of natural and human-caused disasters has grown in Europe and the Mediterranean over the last ten years. While the increased vulnerability of our societies to disaster is partly the result of inappropriate urban planning, more intensive land use, environment degradation and insufficient preparedness, climate change seems to be causing a rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events resulting in more drought, heat waves, wildland fires, storms, floods and coastal catastrophic events.
