This Strategy sets out a pathway to make Europe water resilient, firmly rooted in the 2050
vision put forward by the EU at the 2023 UN Water Conference for a water resilient EU,
providing water security for all. This entails the protection and restoration of aquatic
ecosystems, and a fair balance between water supply and water demand responding to current
needs, including the realisation of the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation,
without compromising the rights of future generations.

This strategy underlines the importance of scaling up the investment and prioritisation of Nature-based Solutions.
