We need governments to think bigger and bolder in their approach to flood mitigation. We need multiple interventions constructively used together to form a well-thought-out plan that complements each intervention. Emphasis on community resilience is not enough; people are powerless to enforce a wider, bigger, more sustainable approach. We need to be realistic; flooding has proven to be more frequent, and this is going to increase, and there seems to be no urgency to the situation from governments. As mentioned in this interview, no action happens because the government's FDGiA funding criteria are failing rural areas. Many rural communities are not cost-effective to protect! #NationalFloodForum #Flooding #FloodRecovery #PostFlood #RecoverySteps https://lnkd.in/dwuy7Avx

Extreme precipitation is on the rise in Europe, leading to devastating floods. It's time for modern solutions to tackle this growing threat.

In remembrance of those who perished in floods, we're uniting for a vital cause: a nationwide tree planting initiative on 10th May. Our aim is twofold – to combat flooding and fortify against droughts. Each tree planted is a pledge to safeguard our nation's future. Let's sow hope and resilience, one tree at a time. Together, we can make a profound impact. 🌿🌎 #ClimateAction #Togetherfortheloveoftrees #Treesplanting
