The Committee of Authorities of the Ebro Resilience Strategy met this morning in the historic enclave of El Bocal, in Fontellas, Navarra, to renew the commitment of the institutions to the objectives to reduce the risk of flooding that were agreed at the birth of this Strategy in the middle stretch of the Ebro River. This body is made up of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO), the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (CHE) and the Governments of Navarre, La Rioja and Aragon. <\/p>

The meeting concluded with the proposal to jointly participate in a new call of the LIFE Program of the European Commission, with the same objective, that the population and economic activities coexist with an Ebro in a good state of conservation without the inevitable floods causing significant damage.<\/p>

The meeting was attended by institutional representatives of the partners: MITECO’s Director General of Water, M\u00aa Dolores Pascual; the President of the CHE, Carlos Arrazola; the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural World and Environment of the Government of La Rioja, Noem\u00ed Manzano; the Director General of Environment of the Government of Navarra, Ana Breta\u00f1a ; the director of the Aragonese Water Institute, Luis Esta\u00fan, accompanied by the general director of Natural Environment and Landscape of the Government of La Rioja, Jos\u00e9 Ignacio S\u00e1enz de Urturi; the general secretary of the Aragonese Water Institute, Pilar Royo and the Water Commissioner of the CHE, Miriam Pardos.<\/p>

They were joined by the Ebro Resilience technical team, who work in a continuous and coordinated manner.<\/p>

This new proposal, called LIFE Ebro Resilience 2P, seeks to consolidate the inter-administrative collaboration model that has positioned the Ebro basin as a European benchmark in resilience and adaptation to the phenomenon of floods.<\/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

Beginnings <\/strong>
The Ebro Resilience Strategy was born in 2018 in the spirit of all administrations working together as part of the solution following the severe floods suffered in the middle stretch in 2015 and 2018. It was conceived as a collaborative mechanism to implement the measures of the Flood Risk Management Plan (PGRI) in a 325-kilometer stretch between Logro\u00f1o and La Zaida in a coordinated manner. <\/p>

In 2020, the current LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 was approved, a project endowed with 13.3 million euros and 55% financing from the European Union, which acts in pilot areas of the three Autonomous Communities to reduce the risk of flooding with Nature-Based Solutions, recovery of river space and innovative proposals to make the socioeconomic activities of the section compatible.<\/p>

This project has formed a technical team with the project partners, MITECO, through the CHE and the public companies TRAGSA and TRAGSATEC; the governments of La Rioja; Navarra, through Orekan – Environmental Management of Navarra and Arag\u00f3n, together with the Aragonese Water Institute.<\/p>

The progress achieved to date demonstrates the effectiveness of the implementation of a coordinated succession of measures after a detailed technical study of the problems of each section and always developing in parallel participatory processes with the population.
In total, 113 hectares of river space have been recovered and 3 km of defenses have been removed or set back.<\/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
