Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative - SEE Mitigating the Adverse Financial Effects of Natural Hazards on the Economies of South Eastern Europe: A Study of Disaster Risk Financing Options Europe has witnessed a major growth in the scale and frequency of extreme weather events. Between 1980 and 2006, extreme weather-related events represented 89 per cent (€238 billion) out of the €366 billion of overall losses from disasters caused by the impact of natural hazards3. On average, Europe is facing an annual economic loss burden of €12 billion as a result of extreme weather events, of which 28 per cent has been compensated by insurers, mainly in the original EU Member States4. The current projections suggest5 that South Eastern, Mediterranean and Central European regions are among the most vulnerable to climate change. Considerable adverse impacts are expected to occur to natural and human systems that are already under pressure from changes in land use and settlement patterns. The expected rise in temperature will have an impact on snow cover, glaciers and permafrost, causing an increased risk of hazards. Coastal areas along the Mediterranean and Black Seas, in particular, are at high risk due to an expected sea level rise and changes in frequency and/or intensity of storms. Southern Europe is consistently projected to become much drier and warmer, with higher risk of drought and negative consequences for agriculture and water supply.
