It has been seen in the recent past that floods and droughts are more and more affecting European Union Members States and impact all citizens and all economic sectors. The 17th EWA Brussels Conference will focus on the Blue initiatives in the Green Deal and highlight the importance of transdisciplinary cooperation to guarantee a reliable and high qualitative access to water for all across the European Union.

After an introduction on the ongoing and new EU Water Initiatives at the European level by DG Environment, session 1 on Water and Soil Protection will show which strategy the European Union has chosen to achieve the objective of the Green Deal. And what is means for the water sector. 

Session 2 on Floods and Droughts in Europe will have a look at the past extreme events in Europe before discussing the necessary territorial management to improve the water availability.
