Urgency of Flood Protection Amid Political Strife

Federal Environment Minister Lemke has stressed the necessity of prioritizing flood protection above political disagreements. With the new Flood Protection Act prepared, its implementation hangs in the balance due to impending governmental changes.

Katrin Eder, the Environment Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, highlighted the critical need for effective flood measures, especially after the catastrophic flooding in the Ahr Valley in 2021. The recent Environment Ministers' Conference underscored this urgency, as states seek reforms to ensure sustainable funding for flood protection projects.

The current political landscape complicates these efforts, especially with the new legislation delayed by coalition disputes. It is imperative that flood safety remains a united front to safeguard communities and infrastructure.
