[🚨Ηot off the press 🚨] Water Europe just released its much-anticipated socio-economic study calling for €255 billion in water #investments in the next six years to protect Europe’s economy and ensure environmental sustainability. 💪The study on the #Value of EU Investing in Water stresses the need for more robust water management to address the growing threat of #waterscarcity, which affects 38% of the EU population and jeopardises key industries such as semiconductors, data centres, renewable hydrogen, and electric vehicle battery production. 🏭Together, these four industries are valued at €192 billion and are forecast to grow to nearly €1 trillion by 2030. This expansion will see #waterdemand more than double, emphasising the urgency for #sustainable water management to meet future needs! 📄Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/eqRR_dSi 🔗Dive into the socio-economic study: https://lnkd.in/dbAJw47T #EUBlueDeal #WaterScarcity #WaterSustainability #EUInvestments #FutureIndustries #EconomicGrowth #WaterManagement #WaterCrisis #ValueofWater #WaterSmartSociety Stefano Porciello EUobserver Financial Times WSP Marianne Gros Louise GUILLOT Leonie Cater

🔜Water Europe is preparing to release its new Socio-Economic Study on the Value of the EU Investing in Water. 🔎This comprehensive study will offer deeper insights into the true #ValueOfWater and its critical role in shaping a resilient, competitive Europe. It will particularly focus on water availability as a strategic resource essential for both economic and social activities. 💧The report will highlight the value of water across four key sectors: 🎛 Semiconductors 📊 Data management ⚡ Renewable energy supply and storage 🍒 Agriculture and food processing 💶It is estimated that around €45 billion are invested each year in Europe by #water services providers, meaning on average, around €82 per EU citizen per year. However, the significance of water #resources to the EU economy is much wider than the value of this water services provision. 👁🗨Want to discover more? Keep an eye on our feed, the study will be released on Monday, 14 October. 👉Read our President's editorial: https://lnkd.in/e9wTC6wF #WaterEurope #ValueOfWater #EUInvestment #WaterInnovation #ResilientEurope #Sustainability #WaterEconomy #StrategicResources #Semiconductors #DataManagement #RenewableEnergy #Agriculture #FoodProcessing

💸The cost of inaction on #climatechange could hit 10-12% of GDP by the end of this century, according to the latest annual report 'The State of Regions and Cities' from the European Economic and Social Committee. 🏙️ Regions and cities are responsible for 70% of climate mitigation and 90% of adaptation policies. 💰For every €10 spent on environmental policies, €8 are spent locally. Regional leaders are calling for targeted financial support to make the #EUGreenDeal a reality. 🚰 Water stress is becoming a major concern, with 70% of the population in Southern Europe already facing seasonal shortages and with water scarcity affecting now almost 30% of the EU’s territory, with Southern Europe especially at risk. 🌍 Heavy industries contribute 45% of global GHG emissions - so there’s no time to waste in making sustainable changes. 🔥 Heat-related deaths are on the rise, with estimates suggesting 120,000 deaths per year in Europe by 2050 due to extreme heat. Last year, Europe saw a record number of days with ‘extreme heat stress’ (over 46°C!).

I am excited to announce the launch of a new page on Water Reuse on the EU Science Hub, the main website of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (EU Science, Research and Innovation). This page will serve as a platform to showcase the activities of JRC on water reuse. It will also feature upcoming events such as webinars and workshops, as well as case studies to share knowledge and promote water reuse in the EU. We are committed to making a positive impact in the field of water reuse and are thrilled to have this platform to further our efforts. Stay tuned for updates and valuable resources on water reuse! #WaterReuse #JRC #EUScienceHub

✋The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has been the 1st EU body calling on the European Commission to make water a strategic political priority for the EU. ⏮Since then, the EESC's call for an #EUBlueDeal has gained significant support from Members of the European Parliament, the European Committee of the Regions, and various stakeholders from industry and civil society. 🎙You can learn more about the journey of #WaterResilience in our guest editorial with Pietro Francesco De Lotto, President of the Consultative Commission on Industrial Change, #EUBlueDeal Coordinator (EESC). 🔎Full article: https://lnkd.in/eA3zSEVw #WaterResilience #EUBlueDeal #Sustainability #WaterCrisis #CircularEconomy #CleanWater #WaterPolicy #EUGreenDeal
