The Solidarity and Emergency Aid Reserve provides a rapid financial response to all kinds of emergencies in the EU and participating countries. The EU Solidarity Fund offers more long-term financial support. It has paid more than €8.2 billion since 2002. Flooding is the most commonly funded event.

The residents of the Polish towns devastated by September’s floods don’t have a clear picture of how European institutions are acting in their support. I asked the European Green Deal spokesperson Stefan de Keersmaecker to explain Europe’s role in case of natural disasters like floods.

“Cohesion policy has reserved around €14 billion, under the current program period 2021-2027 to handle or to support disaster risk management, which focuses on prevention and preparedness. Poland has earmarked around 2.9 billion for preventing and managing climate-related risks under the current program period,” he explained.

Stefan said that the Commission and the member states agree on the priorities for funding, but member States are responsible for how the money is used.

“We call this in cohesion policy “shared management.” It makes total sense, of course, because the member states are much better placed to know which organisations require which type of funding. We make sure that the funds are made available to the member states and that the member states actually manage the funds.”

Climate change is modifying European policies. Adaptation requires time and resources. Extreme weather events cannot be prevented from happening, but countries may be able to improve how they respond to them.
