EU's Water Resilience Strategy to Combat Growing Water Scarcity
The EU is tackling its growing water scarcity issue, with 38% of Europe's land in drought due to record heat, overuse, mismanagement, and pollution. The EU's Water Resilience Strategy, launched in June 2025, aims to protect water cycles, promote resource-efficient economies, and ensure clean water access. Key measures include restoring ecosystems, improving water efficiency by 10% by 2030, reducing pollution, and modernizing management through digital technologies. Southern Europe is particularly affected, with Cyprus and Malta exceeding critical water usage thresholds.4 sourcesSee all sources
