Our colleagues in the EU Staff COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund team and EU Staff for Climate have taken the initiative of setting up a dedicated fundraiser [1] for communities affected by the recent devastating floods unleashed by climate change in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and further afield as the storm moved southwards.
Donations to this collection will be used to:
- support the European regions affected by the floods;
- fund projects to directly help those most in need, especially the most vulnerable, to cope with and recover from the catastrophe; and
- show the solidarity that EU staff have with those suffering from the devastating effects of the climate crisis.
Please do not hesitate to contact [2] us to share your experiences or to tell us of other flood initiatives and we can link to them here.
