Today, rising sea levels place coastal cities under constant threat. An estimated 250 million people currently live on land below projected annual flood levels, often in coastal cities such as London, Lagos, Mumbai or Shanghai; and this number may rise to 630 million by the end of the century. An additional 318 million people have been displaced since 2018, due to climate disasters. Could it be that, instead of humankind fleeing from water, building on it could serve as a better long-term solution? What would the creation of entire water cities entail for societies, economies and the environment? What if populations could live on water instead of facing displacement and migration? The combined effects of climate change, land subsidence and accelerated urbanisation could force us to rethink the use of water surfaces on Earth as potential settlement areas, as an alternative to an Earth surface made uninhabitable by over-population and climate catastrophes.

EPRS STOA podcast - What if we built cities on water?

&lt;p>Vietämme 9. toukokuuta 2020 Schumanin julistuksen 70‑vuotispäivää. Toinen maailmansota jätti 40-luvun lopussa Eurooppaan ja sen kansoihin syvät arvet. Ranskan ulkoministerinä oli tuolloin Robert Schuman. Hän tiedosti, että Euroopassa oli alkanut jälleenrakentamisen ja sovinnonteon aika. Ja hänellä oli sitä varten suunnitelma.&lt;/p>

Schumanin julistuksen 70-vuotispäivä

2020-ųjų gegužės 9-tąją švęsime 70-tą Šumano deklaracijos sukaktį. Praėjusio amžiaus 5-ojo dešimtmečio pabaigoje Europa ir jos gyventojai smarkiai tebejautė Antrojo pasaulinio karo padarinius. Roberas Šumanas buvo Prancūzijos užsienio reikalų ministras ir gerai suvokė, kaip Europai buvo reikalingas atsikūrimas ir susitaikymas. Taigi jo galvoje gimė planas.
