6. Notes also that, owing to the acceleration of glacial melting especially prevalent in the Himalayas and the Andes, mountainous regions are increasingly at threat from floods and avalanches; points out, however, that glacial melt is not the only factor affecting water flows in the Himalayas, but that timing and intensity of the monsoon, other rainfall and especially land use practices such as deforestation, overgrazing, agricultural systems and settlement patterns are determinant; in particular, stresses that deforestation frequently increases the rate and speed of the flow of water into major channels, while floods arising from ‘gla ...[+++]cier lake outburst floods’ (GLOFs) are often exacerbated by unsustainable land use practices;

30. Welcomes the Commission’s proposal for a decision establishing the first radio spectrum policy programme; expresses concern that the Commission must take a well-considered approach, rather than rushing this complex but vital spectrum harmonisation policy;

1. Recognises that extreme climate phenomena together with the expected rise in sea-levels and higher variations of rainfall calls for new projects and adaptation measures for their implementation, especially in respect of agriculture and the management of river and drainage basins, even within the existing infrastructure systems which will generate high operational costs, but are nevertheless affordable as they are much lower than the costs of inaction over the medium to long term; calls, however, for the scientific basis for such measures to fulfil the criteria resulting from climate science, with adequate peer review and assessment processes and constant updating of research findings in a transparent manner; calls on the Commission and ...[+++] the Member States to provide, in a dedicated national action plan, information on those costs and their distribution;

The EU and Canada will give particular attention to an effective division of labour between all relevant actors, to targeting root-causes and precipitating factors of violent conflicts, and to enhancing capacities for timely preventive action.

Different parts of the globe will feel a variety of effects including changes in the timing and distribution of precipitation, and changes in temperature fluctuations.
