This funding call addresses the urgent need to strengthen water systems and the water sector's resilience against the growing challenges posed by climate change and socio-economic changes. The call seeks projects that focus on innovative solutions to improve water management and increase the efficiency of water use across sectors. Proposals should aim to enhance the resilience of water resources by developing tools for forecasting water availability, improving infrastructure, and restoring natural water cycles. Projects should also address issues such as the mitigation of flood and drought risks, sustainable governance of water resources, and strategies to protect and restore biodiversity. The EU aims to foster a collaborative approach to these challenges, with a focus on integrating diverse sectors and stakeholders in the development and implementation of solutions. The overall objective is to support long-term sustainable water management that addresses the interlinked crises of climate change, water scarcity, and ecosystem degradation.
