The signatories argue that floods, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and water scarcity are interconnected symptoms of a destabilised water cycle<\/strong>, made worse by the degradation of wetlands, forests, peatlands, floodplains and healthy soils. They warn that these growing climate risks pose major environmental, economic and societal challenges across Europe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
