'The Water Framework Directive and the Floods Directive'
Piotr Całbecki, President of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region
"Whilst the Water Framework Directive has been crucial to improve the state of water resources in the EU, given the emerging challenges including climate change and micro-plastics, solutions such as new technologies as well as in the light of the sustainable development goals and the Green Deal, it is necessary to update this directive. In addition, we need a paradigm shift to place circularity and sustainability at the center of water management."
