#EUBlueDeal

Chypre est confrontée à une crise de l'eau croissante …
Le dessalement aide, mais une action urgente dans le cadre du #EUBlueDeal est nécessaire pour réduire le gaspillage et gérer la pénurie.

🌊A dedicated 🇪🇺R&I strategy is key for #WaterResilience. The rapporteurs of our upcoming #EUBlueDeal Accelerator opinion took part in #EUOceanDays to advance this work.

Our opinion will focus on turning #EWRS into action — with emphasis on technology, financing and skills.

Theofilos Konstantinou:

Cyprus faces a growing water crisis 💧 Young people call for awareness campaigns, leak reduction & public access to water data.

Desalination helps, but urgent #EUBlueDeal action is needed to cut waste and manage scarcity.

Dr E. Koutsakos:
CY faces severe water crisis: rainfall could drop 30% by 2050, demand peaks in tourist season & around 40% of water is lost to leakages💧Fixing losses could equal 2 desalination plants.
Urgent #EUBlueDeal action, faster permits & treating water like energy are key.

🗳️The EESC adopted the CCMI opinion on the scaling up of sodium battery manufacturing⚡️

Strengthening the #EUBatteries ecosystem would reduce EU dependencies and reinforce EU #StrategicAutonomy 🔋
