Council adopted the report of the Open-ended Intergovernmental Group of Ministers or Their Representatives on International Environmental Governance, which had been established pursuant to Governing Council decision 21/21. In that report it was suggested that “strengthening international environmental governance should be evolutionary in nature” and that “preference” be given to “making better use of existing structures”. The Open-ended Intergovernmental Group also expected the decisions of the Governing Council at its seventh special session to be “the commencement of a longer-term enterprise to develop international understanding, commitment, and resolve towards ensuring the sustainability of the global environment”. . | Environment Agency Flooding in England A National Assessment of Flood Risk omes that are at threat from aama uni mfrastructure such as water treatment worerand power stations are often close tc ure.

This is a major piece of work that brings together our latest scientific and engineering knowledge to describe clearly the risks of flooding from rivers and the sea. It underpins our future plans for investment in flood risk management as well as helping us to work together with our partners to protect the public and property from floods more effectively. The events of the summer of 2007 demonstrated the major impacts floods can have. They also showed the importance of understanding the flood risks we face nationally so that we can be better prepared to face future risks. In all around 5.2 million properties in England or one in six properties are at risk of flooding. More than 5 million people live and work in 2.4 million properties
