"The increase in extreme weather events in recent years represents an escalating cost to the global economy, not only for developing countries but for the world at large, both as a direct cost in terms of rebuilding and aid and as an indirect cost in terms of increases in insurance and higher prices for products and services. These events also represent an aggravation of threats to international peace and human security. Natural disasters, exacerbated by climate change, are highly destabilising, particularly for vulnerable states. Populations with deteriorating access to freshwater and foodstuffs caused by natural catastrophes exacerbated by climate change are forced to migrate, thus overstretching the economic, social and administrative capabilities of already fragile regions or failing states. This creates conflict and has a negative impact on overall security. This situation often results in competition between communities and countries for scarce natural resources. For this reason, I consider it appropriate to establish coordination mechanisms between the EU as a whole and those Member States which may in the future act in accordance with the provisions of permanent structured cooperation to ensure the consistency of their actions with the EU’s comprehensive approach in this field."@en1
