This week, the European Committee of the Regions adopted its opinion on the European #WaterResilienceStrategy.
NMWE welcomes the focus on the robust implementation of EU water legislation, aquifer protection, action on PFAS, river basin management, and nature-based solutions.
Ellis Penning taking part in a panel discussion today on the #WaterResilienceStrategy at the 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 in Brussels.
On Monday, the first #WaterResilienceForum brought stakeholders together to discuss turning the #WaterResilienceStrategy into action.
Key takeaways for NMWE:
💧Cooperation & dialogue are essential; fragmentation is a problem
💧Deliver on existing legislation & strengthen river basin authorities

The paper used by the #corrugated industry is now managed with much greater efficiency, driving a reduction in water usage.
This progress highlights the sector’s high sustainability performance as the @ec.europa.eu advances its #WaterResilienceStrategy.

🌊 Our message to EU Environment Ministers: Europe urgently needs a strong #WaterResilienceStrategy!
We must prioritise nature over short-term fixes, hold polluters accountable, and above all, take a systemic approach 🤝
Let's protect people, ecosystems, and our future. Joint letter in comments ⬇️
Work is underway on our opinion on the #WaterResilienceStrategy.
Our #EUBlueDeal approach calls for
💧Integration of water into all 🇪🇺 policies
💧strong funding for water in #MFF
💧close involvement of #EUCivilSociety and key stakeholders

The paper used in corrugated packaging is produced with significantly improved water efficiency.
This fact strengthens our sector's sustainability credentials, especially as the EU Commission develops the #WaterResilienceStrategy.

As Co-Chair & WBGU member, IDOS Director @akhornidge.bsky.social contributed to a new @wbgu.bsky.social #PolicyPaper. Key message: The #EU #WaterResilienceStrategy must be further concretized & consistently implemented. Climate-resilient #WaterManagement can serve as a guiding principle. ⬇️
💧 The #WaterResilienceStrategy aims to integrate water resilience in all #industrial sectors but more measures are needed. #Water is barely mentioned in the #CleanIndustrialDeal. It should be a pillar of EU industrial policy 🏭

Our next #EOC2025 session focuses on #WaterResilience. Although acknowledging the role of organic in protecting water & soil, the #WaterResilienceStrategy lacks ambition by not addressing #PesticideUse.

🔔 It’s official! The European #WaterResilienceStrategy has been unveiled by the @ec.europa.eu.
💧 Water challenges across Europe are significant and require decisive action, and this Strategy is an important significant step towards addressing them.
🚨 EU has a #WaterResilienceStrategy — but will it deliver for LRGs?
🌍 We welcome steps on nature-based solutions & the Polluter Pays Principle but we need:
🔹 Clear funding line in the next #MFF
🔹 Local flexibility & support

The EU’s #WaterResilienceStrategy is a step forward — but prevention at source is missing
Without action to stop pollution early, water resilience will remain out of reach
“Detection isn’t enough, we must prevent pollution.” Patricia Fosselard, SG NMWE.

The European Commission is asking all Member States to reduce their water use by ten per cent by 2030. These water saving objectives are part of the Water Resilience Strategy that was presented today. www.waternewseurope.com/ec-introduce... #WaterResilienceStrategy
💧#WaterResilience Strategy acknowledges #organic's role for water resilience, but lacks overall ambition by ignoring the major threat of pesticide pollution.
We need bold action to preserve water bodies & support truly sustainable farming systems🌿

The upcoming #CAP proposal must be bolder to support the transition towards regenerative practices that give animals a better life and make Europe more water resilient.

👏 Nos alegramos de que la @ec.europa.eu haya dado prioridad al agua en su agenda política con la presentación de esta estrategia. #WaterResilienceStrategy
💧 El acceso a agua segura, limpia y asequible es fundamental para las personas consumidoras y no siempre está garantizado.
The @ec.europa.eu is rightly putting water high up the political agenda in its new #WaterResilienceStrategy 🚰💧
Access to safe, clean and affordable water is indispensable for consumers. We very much welcome this initiative.
Our reaction 👇
Looking forward to the #WaterResilienceStrategy. Good that EC is touching the topic. Unfortunately in a non-binding way without concrete measures. So it is now up to the EU und Member States to put funding behind the strategy, also in the next #EUBudget, to make it deliver, for our water resilience!
Gastkommentar/WELT: @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu über nächste Woche erscheinende 🇪🇺 Strategie für #Wasserresilienz 💧
Sind gespannt, was das für Stärkung der Umsetzung bestehender Wassergesetzgebung wie z.B. der #Wasserrahmenrichtlinie bedeutet.

Just a little longer until the European Commission’s release of its #WaterResilienceStrategy!
Our sector fully supports the ambition to make Europe a #water resilient continent and believes that the European Water Resilience Strategy should support policies that:

TFA found in nearly all wines shows PFAS pollution is widespread.
#OrganicFarming avoids PFAS & synthetic pesticides - it's part of the solution.
But we need action: ban all 31 PFAS pesticides & protect water sources! 🌿💧
