Many EU countries rely heavily on 💧 water that originates outside their borders. #ClimateChange and increased demand are leading to greater competition between countries for the planet’s water resources. The 🇪🇺 Water Framework Directive sets the standard for integrated river basin management by promoting cooperation through joint bodies and shared practice for water quality assessment and monitoring. The Danube River Protection Convention ICPDR complements that as a model for effective transboundary water management, focusing on the conservation and rational use of the river's waters. Let's be #WaterWiseEU and protect our rivers 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRn6Wc4j

UK has taken tough measure by establishing an Independent Water Commission to look at water sector comprehensively. Is it time for us too or are we already late? UK says it needs an additional 5 billion litres of water a day by 2050 and plans investments for the same. Do we also have such simple objectives?

🌍💧🌊#WorldWaterDay's awareness efforts are crucial, yet they must be complemented by #data-driven #policies and practical solutions to effectively tackle #globalwaterchallenges. 📢#WaterScarcity acknowledged, but requires localized solutions due to uneven distribution. #Pollution and #Sanitatio awareness is good; however, 💰investment in infrastructure and technology is needed for tangible improvements. #Water and #Peace equitable distribution can aid peace, but the complex #geopolitics of water disputes necessitates a careful approach. #Annual #Themes guide discussions but should be paired with case studies and actionable policies for real impact. #ScientificResearch #Sustainablewater #waterresourcesmanagement #Supportresearch.

The UK government's efforts to clean up England's rivers, lakes and seas have been criticised by a key environmental watchdog as "poor". Making and updating legislation is a vital role of any government - but it's only a part of the entire leadership function. The government's roles are many; its primary purpose to protect its people and keep society safe and organized, thus maintaining order and stability. Governments also need to enact laws to benefit the local and global environment, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting climate-friendly practices such as investing in clean energy, encouraging energy efficiency, and managing all waste by employing a safe, environmentally-friendly methodology. These measures help combat climate change and preserve the planet for future generations. If governments fail to do any of these, society and the environment will fall into chaos and will suffer. Once legislation is passed, there are important additional provisos to make it work. It is necessary to provide the requisite direction, funding, education and detail at all levels, which, in turn, will facilitate action and commitment. Government actions require funding - especially in this particular case - so, governments should stop concentrating on appeasing voters with short-term sweeteners as a means to maintain their term in office, and get on with the job for which they were originally elected.

Climate-resilient land, soil, and water management is essential for human survival. The International Soil and Water Forum 2024, 9-11 Dec, marks the world’s first high-level action plan on halting & reversing soil degradation and water scarcity. https://buff.ly/4fi3VSY

#WorldWaterDay 2024 puts a spotlight on the cooperation between countries and communities in the areas of water resource #management and #conservation. READ our content on public-private partnerships in the #water sector, community-based management of river basins, and regional cooperation in tackling marine #pollution. 🟠 https://buff.ly/3VkgVk1 #SDG6

#ChrisPackham and an estimated 15,000 other people marched with conviction with a very clear message to the water companies and those in charge. #CutTheCrap. Simple. Let’s see actions speak louder than any words. #CleanWater. #SaveOurSeas. #cleanstreams. #CleanRivers. #WaterPollution

Through private sector intervention, our country could protect and restore wetlands.👇🏼👇🏼 https://bit.ly/46QDZLi
