Union Civil Protection Mechanism: 2028 2034 programming period

Recent climate related disasters, health crises and security threats have highlighted the need to build a resilient Union, capable of anticipating and effectively managing future disasters and crises based on an all hazards approach. More comprehensive and integrated crisis management, requiring close and efficient cooperation between the EU and Member States, is essential for addressing complex and long lasting crises impacting several sectors simultaneously. To this end, and as part of the proposed multiannual financial framework for the post 2027 period, the Commission proposes to update and expand the Union Civil Protection Mechanism and integrate EU financial support for health emergency preparedness and response. It also puts forward new cross sectoral crisis coordination functions and actions relating to civil military cooperation.
