Position paper

Water is not just a resource—it is the foundation of life, economic stability, and industrial progress.Yet, water often remains an undervalued asset, frequently overlooked in policy discussions and investment strategies.

This paper is the first in a series of publications from Acea Research & Studies, providing in-depth insights into the most pressing challenges facing the water sector. Welcoming the European Commission’s effort in paving the way for a European Water Resilience Strategy, Acea wishes to be an active part in this transformative process and developed this paper to offer a comprehensive analysis of industry-wide vulnerabilities and outline key solutions.
