"In recent times, public debate has concentrated on a number of issues that have overshadowed the question of climate change, which should not be underestimated as a global threat. Natural catastrophes in recent years have had very serious impact both as a direct cost in terms of rebuilding and aid and as an indirect cost in terms of increases in insurance premiums. Developing countries are particularly vulnerable to events of this type and deteriorating access to freshwater and foodstuffs caused by natural disasters lead to permanent economic and social damage. I believe that security should be the key issue in relaunching the debate on climate change and natural disasters. Specific tools should be made available for managing the impact of such events, especially on vulnerable populations. I also believe that the EU has the capacity to improve its management of risks of conflict and instability due to climate change and natural disasters. I therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
