The public hearing on "Management and Preparedness for Extreme Weather Events and Natural Disasters in the EU Budget" will examine the effects of the rising frequency and severity of natural disasters on the current EU budget, as well as on the planning and implementation of the EU's long term budget.

The Committee on Budgets will hold a public hearing to understand which mechanisms within the EU budget are in place to respond to severe weather and climate emergencies. The scope of the public hearing is to gain insight into the appropriateness of existing instruments, the level of preparedness to face climate risks, and reflect on future requirements.
The invited speakers are:
- Ms. Eulalia Rubio (Institut Jacques Delors);
- Mr. Marco Panigalli (Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations, European Commission);
- Ms. Aleksandra Kazmierczak (European Environment Agency - EEA);
- Ms. Marie Evo (European Center for Flood Risk Prevention and Management - CEPRI).

Members of the Committee on the Environment, Climate and Food Safety, the Committee on Regional Development, and the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development are invited to enhance the discussion with their contributions.
