Water is essential to human life, to the health of our ecosystems and to European economies, yet it is under increasing stress due to overexploitation, rising demand and the effects of climate change. The impacts are increasingly felt in our societies and economies. Since 2000, the European Commission’s Water Framework Directive (WFD) has been the main legal framework for water protection in Europe, aiming to ensure an integrated approach to water management, while respecting the integrity of whole ecosystems.
More recently, in 2023, the European Commission was drafting a ‘Water Resilience Initiative’, which has, for the moment, been withdrawn from the Commission’s agenda.
Already, different stakeholders have put in place public-private partnerships with long-term strategies to restore and protect freshwater ecosystems that need continued policy support.
Two days ahead of World Water Day, join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to discuss what can and needs to be done to protect EU waters and ecosystems.
Speakers confirmed are: Pernille Weiss MEP, Member ENVI Committee & Chair, MEP Water Group, European ParliamentAndreas Beckmann, Regional CEO, WWF Central & Eastern Europe (WWF-CEE)Wouter Vermeulen, VP Sustainability & Public Policy Europe, Coca-Cola EuropeMore speakers to be announced soon.
