Droughts are becoming more frequent and severe across the EU, fueled by climate change. But we can work with nature to protect our homes, cities and farmers from the impacts of droughts. What if we could increase the capacity of our landscapes to store and release more water?
The frequency of river floods is surging, impacting millions and wreaking havoc on lives and economies. It's time to tap into nature's resilience. How can we anticipate and prepare for floods, using nature’s amazing ability to absorb water?
We all need clean water. But many of our rivers, seas and groundwater are polluted: from chemicals, plastics and agriculture among others. How can we tackle water pollution at its source?
We need water to produce our food and power our economies. Poorly managed water leads to overuse, loss or waste. We need to reduce the demand on water by using it more efficiently and reusing it when possible. How can we manage water in a smart and integrated way?
