With the new Urban Water Agenda 2030 (UWA2030) initiative, the European Commission is joining forces with local governments, including their water utilities, to promote sustainable water management in cities.

EUROCITIES and ICLEI, on behalf of the European Commission, are running an online consultation to ensure that relevant stakeholders in the urban water sector have a say in the development of the UWA2030.

This consultation is based on the first version of the UWA2030 strategy, which has been developed in close collaboration with a core group of cities. The current version suggests that cities can voluntarily commit themselves to actions in five strategic directions: at local, river basin, European Union, and global level, with the fifth direction highlighting direct exchanges between local governments as an essential mechanism for making an impact on the ground.

A webinar will be held on 21 September 2017 from 15.00 - 16.00 [CEST] that will offer guidance on completing the online consultation. The public consultation is open until 9 October 2017.
