Droughts and extreme weather events as a threat to local communities and EU agriculture in times of climate change

This procedure concerns the EU Solidarity Fund, which helps member states cope with major natural disasters. It focuses on how the fund can be used to address the increasing threat of droughts and extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, to local communities and agriculture. The procedure aims to ensure that communities affected by these climate-related disasters receive timely and adequate financial assistance. It will impact regions and sectors heavily reliant on agriculture, providing a safety net during recovery efforts.
