⚠️ EESC - European Economic and Social Committee calls for a strong and comprehensive European Water Resilience Strategy, where prevention and preparedness should become the main guiding principles.

A key recommendation is to improve governance and coordination, with stronger cross-border cooperation.

The EESC opinion on the topic (link.europa.eu/YHNT8j) also proposes introducing a in EU policymaking so that new legislation in sectors such as agriculture, energy, industry and transport is assessed for its impact on water resources.

It also recommends establishing a hierarchy that prioritises essential human needs, ecosystem protection and sustainable economic activities, and encourages wider use of measures, water reuse, nature-based solutions and sustainable agricultural practices.
