European Water Resilience Strategy
Restoring and protecting the water cycle, ensuring clean and affordable water for all, and creating a sustainable, resilient, smart and competitive water economy in Europe. These are the objectives of the European Water Resilience Strategy adopted by the European Commission.
The European Commission emphasises the strategic importance of water, but proposes only voluntary targets, including improving water efficiency by 10% by 2030: no penalties for those who fail to do so. Investment? The EIB is putting €15 billion on the table between now and 2027: €5 billion per year to be divided among all Member States.
