lpv:translated text	"Madam President, floods may be described as one of the most destructive forces of nature, in terms of loss of life and damage to property. The least developed countries are the most vulnerable, due to climate and the lack of flood management measures. It is therefore important to adopt a multi-level flood management strategy, particularly in regions where unstable glacier lakes represent a critical flood risk. I agree with the rapporteur, who warns against relying on large dams to prevent flood damage, especially in the context of climate change. It is likely that extreme precipitation will increase the intensity and frequency of flash floods, which can reduce the safety level of dams. Moreover, according to the conclusions of the World Commission on Dams, the financial return on large dam projects continues to be uncertain. In financial terms, the environmental and social costs of large dams have not been sufficiently taken into account."@en1
