ROMANIA, DISASTROUS FLOODS

The grim realities of climate change

An episode from the series EARTH ON EDGE

Synopsis

Romania and its 20 million inhabitants are facing a real climate crisis.

According to the UN, it is one of the European countries most exposed to natural disasters. Every year, torrential rains hit the country, causing increasingly violent floods. Seismic activity can also wreak havoc, as in 1977, when an earthquake killed 1,500 people.
