EU support for natural disasters: assessing the adequacy of the post-2027 MFF proposals

How much should the EU do to deal with the growing problem of severe damage from natural disasters?

Our Professorial Research Fellow Iain Begg has co-authored a new study for the European Parliament Committee on Budgets (BUDG) which assesses the adequacy of the post-2027 MFF proposals in providing support for dealing with natural disasters.

The study examines measures related to prevention and preparedness before disasters occur, as well as immediate responses and recovery support afterwards. Based on this analysis, it formulates policy recommendations on how the proposals could be improved.
