"This report, drafted by Mr Deva, concerns the financing of dam infrastructure reinforcement in developing countries. Climate change recorded in recent decades has been causing unexpected natural disasters in unthinkable places. Floods have caused thousands of deaths and damage costing many millions of dollars, especially in developing countries. The future prospects in this area do not bode well at all. We all know that the increased average temperature globally has been causing the icecaps to melt, and has led to rising sea levels.
It is therefore essential to support these countries in terms of warning them of similar situations, and of encouraging integrated and sustained development in regions that are more geographically fragile. I therefore welcome this report, which encourages the European Union to promote technologies that will drastically cut carbon emissions, to create a cross-border monitoring agency, to support the construction of dams that will minimise the risk of floods, and to improve disaster prevention methods and flood resistance tests for buildings."@en1
