  • EU Blue Deal

    Considering the vital nature of water and the magnitude of the challenges ahead, the EESC calls on the EU to adopt a comprehensive and strategic approach to water with its call for an EU Blue Deal. This new approach should integrate water considerations in the design of key EU policies and their implementation, based on a long-term strategic vision and supported by dedicated funding to ensure a water-secure future for all.
