 The
Council of Europe together with the Ministry of the Russian
Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of
Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM), organised the
12th Ministerial Session of EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement on
28 September in Saint Petersburg.
The session provided guidance to the work of EUR-OPA with a
view to continuing contributing to the implementation of the
United Nations Hyogo Framework of Action on disaster reduction
in Europe and the Mediterranean. The Ministers took stock of the
mid-term results and adopted a new Medium Term Plan for
2011-2015. The new plan focuses on improving prevention and preparedness and
promoting good risk governance; using knowledge to reduce
vulnerability; improving preparedness for emergencies to save
lives and help victims of disasters.
Participants
(EUR-OPA and Council of Europe Member States, International
Organisations) also discussed the consequences that climate change may have
on the frequency and intensity of natural disasters and the
measures to strengthen societies’ adaptation and resilience.
