(13a) In the Member States, disasters caused by weather and climate-related extremes accounted for some 83 % of the monetary losses over the period 1980- 2017. Weather and climate-related losses amounted to EUR 426 billion (at 2017 values) in these last years. In the 2014- 2020 programming period, there is a specific objective dedicated to adaptation to climate change and risk prevention and management. These additional resources provided by REACT-EU may thus be used, in view of a greener and more sustainable recovery, also to build infrastructure and develop strategies and best practices aimed at preventing hydrogeological and other disasters.
