Through its Panel of Experts on Hydrogeology and ongoing EU-funded projects like GENESIS, EFG is committed to supporting the Strategy’s implementation.
The European Federation of Geologists (EFG) welcomes the European Commission’s adoption of the EU Water Resilience Strategy on 4 June 2025. As a contributor to the Strategy’s public consultation, EFG sees this milestone as a vital step toward safeguarding Europe’s water resources in the face of intensifying climate and societal challenges.
With global water demand projected to outpace supply by 40% by 2030, the Strategy offers a timely and ambitious roadmap, prioritising governance, investment, innovation, and scientific research. EFG particularly supports the focus on strengthening professional skills and scientific expertise, recognising the essential role of geologists, especially hydrogeologists, in sustainable water management.
