UE cere investiții mai mari în natură pentru prevenirea incendiilor de vegetație, după pagube economice de peste 15 miliarde de euro

The European Union plans to increase pressure on member states to invest more in nature management and wildfire prevention due to significant economic losses from summer wildfires. Commissioner Jessika Roswall emphasized the urgency of these investments, particularly in Mediterranean countries, but noted that no region is immune to wildfire risks. The EU's proposal to allocate 35% of its future budget to climate and environmental measures has faced criticism for potentially limiting funds for ecosystem restoration. The impact of climate change on wildfire frequency and intensity has raised concerns about the need for better ecosystem management. Member states must submit plans to Brussels by September, highlighting the importance of funding for both intervention and prevention efforts.
