This study aims to offer an in-depth analysis of water scarcity, availability, and usage in the face of climate change. By employing a comprehensive foresight methodology that includes an extensive literature review, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, and broad stakeholder consultation, the research provides a detailed overview of current water availability and consumption within the European Union (EU). It highlights the current and projected trends related to water resources, identifying the pressures and challenges that climate change imposes on water supply and demand. The study also proposes a range of policy options, divided into short-term options (up to 2030) and medium- to long-term options (up to 2050), aimed at ensuring that both EU citizens and businesses have reliable access to adequate water resources. These policy options are geared towards sustainable water management, ensuring resilience to future climate-related water challenges. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP Read more
