Without water, there is no life, no economy, no security. From #EUBlueDeal to global water action, Europe must lead with an ambitious policy that protects the right to water & strengthens resilience. Thank you @JessikaRoswall, @hildebentele & @SRWatSan for joining #EESCPlenary.

“Once you have tasted freedom, you will never give it away. Invest in civil society, because its power is the weakness of every dictatorship.” Powerful words from @Tsihanouskaya at #EESCPlenary. A free Belarus belongs to Europe’s future. 🇪🇺

“Sustainability is not a luxury we can no longer afford.” At #EESCPlenary, EVP @Teresaribera reminded us how #CircularEconomy is central to 🇪🇺’s competitiveness, resilience and strategic autonomy. A bold, fair transition is the only way forward. It must leave no one behind.

An honour to welcome @Tsihanouskaya, leader of the Belarusian democratic forces, to the @EU_EESC today. One year after the signature of our MoU, our partnership remains stronger than ever. Civil society under repression deserves our full and unwavering solidarity.
