Joint Policy Event - Navigating Europe’s Water Challenges: Building Resilience through Science and Policy - Scientific insights supporting a Water-Resilient Europe
About the Event
Europe’s freshwater systems are under increasing pressure. From more frequent droughts and floods to rising water scarcity, pollution, and biodiversity loss, the challenges are complex and interconnected.
This high-level policy event brings together science, policy, and practice to explore how Europe can strengthen water resilience through evidence-based approaches.
