On 18 February, ENVI Members will debate the draft report on the European Water Resilience Strategy, with Rapporteur Thomas Bajada (S&D), in the context of increasing water scarcity and the need for sustainable water management in the EU.
The European Commission has announced a European Water Resilience Strategy for the second quarter of 2025, aiming to improve water management, increase efficiency, and promote sustainable use. This follows the Parliament's previous initiatives, including the recent public hearing on a Water Resilience Strategy. ENVI is actively involved in shaping the strategy through its own-initiative report, led by Rapporteur Thomas Bajada, which focuses on six key pillars: water efficiency, pollution mitigation, climate adaptation, funding, digitalisation and innovation, and cross-border cooperation. The deadline for amendments to the draft is 20 February, with a vote in ENVI scheduled for 8 April before adoption in the May plenary.
