Water systems across Europe are under increasing pressure from climate change, with more frequent and intense droughts, floods and water pollution challenges affecting people, ecosystems and economic activities. Regional and local authorities are at the forefront of addressing these challenges, often needing to manage competing water demands while ensuring long-term sustainability.
At the same time, EU-funded research and innovation projects are developing a wide range of practical solutions—from nature-based restoration approaches to integrated water management tools and circular water systems—that can support climate-resilient water management, water security and resource efficiency.
This event brings together EU projects funded under the Green Deal Call (GDC) and the EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change, and regional and local authorities, to explore how these solutions can be effectively replicated and scaled in practice. In doing so, it contributes to the objectives of the European Water Resilience Strategy (2025), which aims to restore the water cycle, build a water-smart economy, and ensure secure and affordable water for all.
Participants will hear concrete examples of water-smart solutions from three project demonstrators across Europe, discover tools and approaches that support decision-making, and exchange experiences on replicating and scaling water resilience solutions across Europe’s urban and rural landscapes.
