Albania and the entire Mediterranean region are considered by experts as
hot spots for the climate changes, resulting especially with floods.

The massive floods cause each year huge financial damage, which have brought to the signing of a national document for minimizing them as much as possible.

“The draining system is very important. The Albanian agriculture needs to adopt so that seeds and agricultural products are more resistant to the climate change. Another important matter is the management of water basins. Floods are more frequent where rivers are used for inert materials”, said Merita Mansaku Meksi, from GIZ, Germany.

The Global Climate Fund gives 50 million USD each year for feasible projects that can prevent disasters created by climate change. Our country has no access to these funds due to the lack of projects. Minister Koka says they are working to improve the professional capacities in this aspect.
