COUNCIL OF EUROPE - EUR-OPA MAJOR HAZARDS AGREEMENTHazards Agreement • June 5th, 2011
In recent years, the interest in coastal instability has significantly increased due to an increasing frequency of disasters in different parts of the World, and particularly in Europe. Slope processes (cliff rockfalls, coastal slides, storm surges, sea‐level rise and shoreline retreat) presently have a significant impact on the built environment and infrastructure. The topography, geology, present and past climatic conditions and human modification of the landscape result in geomorphological processes being active along many coastal areas. Improved forecasting of medium to long‐term coastal hazards in the context of progressive climate change is required to assess the level of potential impacts on land use, maintenance and development of the built environment, transport infrastructure and utilities. This will lead to the development of appropriate monitoring, management, design and remediation strategies.

Official Statement European and Mediterranean Major Hazards AgreementHazards Agreement • April 16th, 2019
The vulnerability of individuals, communities and the environment is a major factor that increases exposure to disaster risks, although these risks do not affect everybody in the same way. Underprivileged people and socially disadvantaged groups are the most exposed and suffer most directly from disasters. Yet the most vulnerable people are often not sufficiently considered in prevention strategies or operational manuals.
