On 7 July, ENVI will hold an exchange of views with Commissioner Roswall on the 2025 Water Resilience Strategy, a key priority under the 2024–2029 Political Guidelines and part of the EU’s long-term vision for water policy.
On 7 July, Commissioner Roswall will present the 2025 Water Resilience Strategy to the ENVI Committee. The strategy supports the EU’s 2050 water vision outlined at the 2023 UN Water Conference and reflects the Commission’s prioritisation of water resilience. It is also a reaction to the European Parliament own-initiative report on the European Water Resilience Strategy put forward by the ENVI Committee in May this year. The strategy is built around three pillars: restoring and protecting the water cycle by implementing existing EU laws like the Water Framework Directive and Nature Restoration Regulation; building a water-smart economy by boosting sustainability and water efficiency, supported by an EU-wide goal to improve efficiency by 2030; and securing clean, affordable water and sanitation for all. The strategy aims to safeguard water as a fundamental resource across all sectors.
