Strengthening EU Environmental Law: Legal Perspectives on Greening Europe

Nearly 50 years after the first UN Water Conference, water is once again at the forefront of the global agenda. The UN Water Agenda 2023 and the European Green Deal highlight the importance of securing a water-resilient future. At the same time, the European Economic and Social Committee has called for a European Blue Pact, and there is growing momentum for a more intelligent and resilient water policy in Europe.

Climate change is exacerbating water-related challenges, such as droughts and floods, raising urgent questions about how water resources are used and distributed. Despite the EU’s extensive legal framework, new priorities must be established to ensure water security for both people and nature.

In this lecture, Nathalie Hervé-Fournereau (IODE, CNRS-Rennes University) will share her insights on the future of European water governance and the legal challenges of achieving sustainable water management.
