a presentation at the meeting of the EU Working Group on Floods (WGF), the main EU technical and political forum on flood risk management, at the session held on April 7 in Cyprus.<\/p><p>Representatives of the Member States, the European Commission and specialized organizations met there to make progress in the implementation of the Floods Directive and adaptation to climate change.<\/p><p>Within this framework, Carolina Garc\u00eda and David Gargantilla, from the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation and technicians of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project, presented the paper &#8220;Floodplain restoration and flood risk management in the Ebro River&#8221;.<\/p><p>The intervention has shown how floodplain restoration, improved river connectivity and the integration of nature-based solutions are reducing flood risk, improving the ecological status of the river and increasing resilience to extreme events.<\/p><p>The presentation included a space to discuss the experience of public participation and social capacity building being developed by the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project.<\/p><p>The Ebro is consolidated as a European reference case, both for the magnitude of its actions and for its capacity to combine security, conservation, social participation and climate adaptation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
