🐝🐞 PFAS in Pesticides: Time for Action TFA, a persistent chemical from PFAS in pesticides, is contaminating our water and even reaching remote areas. The EU must enforce control-at-source measures to protect our drinking water. EurEau Secretary General Oliver Loebel: "Banning flufenacet and flutolanil is a critical step. Member States must act to halt the rise of TFA in water resources and withdraw all PFAS-containing pesticides." 💧 Prevention is better than costly, unsustainable water treatment. Let's protect our future. https://lnkd.in/gzQGibUd #WaterQuality #PFAS #Sustainability

An excellent opportunity to get experience in a fantastic sector and with a fantastic group of colleagues, all while working with EU policy ;)

Sustainable cities are water cities!

Towards a Water Resilient Europe: Upholding the Human Right to Water Safe and secure water supplies are of critical importance for all people everywhere, to protect public health, mainstream resilience, and guarantee safety and the well-being of people and societies. The promised European Water Resilience Strategy should set a clear direction for coordinated and coherent action by Member States, taking into account national and regional circumstances.

It's #WorldToiletDay - and another chance to share this piece we wrote in 2017. https://lnkd.in/ei4VygGB Access to sanitation is essential for everyone across the world; affording people dignity, health, hygiene, an education, personal safety to name but a few. According to the WHO, 1.5 billion people still do not have basic sanitation services, such as private toilets or latrines. Of these, 419 million still defecate in the open, for example in street gutters, behind bushes or into open bodies of water.  So, wherever you are reading this, sanitation is something that each of us has to take seriously and commit to delivering every day to every one.

No #WaterResilience without clean water! Together with NGOs, the water sector is urging the European Parliament to stop delaying negotiations on quality standards for lakes, rivers, coastal waters and groundwater. We need clear rules in place in time for the next River Basin Management Plans.
