The European Commission is currently drafting a new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, which is expected to be published early next year.
To highlight the importance of a water-related perspective being well reflected in this strategic document, the BMU is hosting the conference “Climate Change and the European Water Dimension – Increasing Resilience” on 4 and 5 November. Together with European stakeholders, the BMU will examine the adaptation challenges and requirements that are specific to the water sector.
We plan to incorporate the conclusions and recommendations resulting from these discussions into the ongoing debate on the new EU Adaptation Strategy. We are organising this conference jointly with Portugal and Slovenia, who will continue discussions on the new Adaptation Strategy and the nexus between climate change and water during their EU Council Presidencies in 2021.
