Expert: Maresme and Costa Daurada face severe climate risk; relocate 4,444 flood-prone facilities

Joan Manuel Vilaplana, director of the GeoRisc Observatory, warns that Spain's Maresme and Costa Daurada coastal regions will suffer significant damage from geological and climate risks, advocating for the deconstruction of infrastructure and buildings in vulnerable areas. He calls for relocating 4,444 sensitive facilities currently in flood-prone zones nationwide. The statement highlights a proactive risk-management approach, though it remains an expert opinion rather than a formal policy.
