IWA YWP Morocco Webinar Series - Social impact of flash floods in Lybia - Malak and Elmehdi
Libya, a country characterized by its arid climate, has faced an increasing challenge in recent years due to a changing climate, resulting in unpredictable and intense rainfall events that lead to devastating flash floods. These inundations not only disrupt daily life but also pose significant threats to the well-being and livelihoods of Libyan communities.
In this informative webinar, our panel of experts Malak Altaeb and EL Mehdi SELLAMI discuss potential mitigation and adaptation strategies, sharing valuable insights and practical solutions to help communities better cope with and recover from flood disasters. We will explore the causes and patterns of flood inundation in Libya, examining the environmental and climatic factors contributing to these events. Furthermore, we will shed light on the profound implications of these floods on the human population, including their socio-economic, environmental, and infrastructural impacts.
