My idea concerns the need to increase the power of the European Parliament in relation to the executive powers to make faster progress in the management of natural hazards, particularly regarding forest fires. To illustrate my point, scientific experts widely agree that it is crucial to invest in the prevention of such fires, as once they reach the stage of "MegaFires," they become extremely difficult, if not impossible, to extinguish with current technological and human resources. Multidisciplinary scientific research has revealed numerous consequences for human societies. They pose an increased threat to stakeholders, including firefighters, as well as to local populations, with impacts on human lives, properties, businesses, and the economic function of natural ecosystems. The overall social, economic, and environmental costs are significant, although estimates remain limited. They cause substantial damage to collective infrastructure such as power and communication lines, water supply systems, roads, and railways. The costs of cleaning and reconstruction are considerable. They disrupt supply chains, resulting in business closures and transportation disruptions. This can lead to a decrease in tax revenue, a decline in property values, and loss of customers for local businesses, such as reduced tourism in fire-affected areas. These are only a few of the consequences: they also incur in socioeconomic costs, health issues, water quality, impacts in local ecosystems... However, I have noticed that executive powers often tend to allocate resources primarily to civil security forces rather than investing in prevention. This decision is often driven by short-term political considerations, as it is easier for a Ministry of the Interior or the European Commission to deploy resources when a fire breaks out, creating the illusion of immediate and effective action. Unfortunately, this reactive approach neglects the importance of prevention, which would help avoid such emergency situations in the first place. This is where the European Parliament can play a crucial role. As an institution of debates and consensus, the Parliament has the unique ability to exercise closer control over executive powers and promote policies focused on the prevention of natural hazards. By strengthening its position and influence, the European Parliament can encourage the executive powers to invest more in the prevention of forest fires and other natural risks. This also necessitates granting the European Parliament legislative initiative, which it is currently deprived of. Therefore, I encourage to consider this proposal and explore ways to increase the Parliament's power in the management of natural hazards. By working together, we can make Europe a global leader in proactive natural hazard management. I firmly believe that the European Parliament, as a democratic institution representing the interests of European citizens, is the ideal place to initiate this positive change.
