The Floods Directive (FD), implemented in November 2007 addresses the rising threat of catastrophic and frequent floods in Europe due to socioeconomic development and climate change. Its purpose is to establish a framework for assessing and managing flood risks within the European Union, with the goal of reducing adverse impacts on human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and economic activity.
