The 2026 United Nations Water Conference comes at a decisive moment for global water governance. As increased demand from economic activities, unsustainable water use, population growth and climate change put increasing pressure on hydrological resources, water has become a central challenge for societal and economic resilience, social stability and sustainable development. In its dedicated opinion, the EESC outlines a strategic vision for global action, based on its work on the EU Blue Deal and informed by the experience of employers, workers and organised civil society.
The 19th meeting of the EU-Ukraine Civil Society Platform (CSP) will take place on 5 June 2026. During the meeting, the CSP members will exchange with the EU and Ukrainian authorities on the state of play of the implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and on Ukraine's progress on its EU accession path.
