Strengthening the resilience of water systems and water sector to climate and global socio-economic change impacts
Funds research and pilots that help European water systems adapt to climate-driven floods, droughts and water stress.
Strengthening the resilience of water systems and water sector to climate and global socio-economic change impacts is a Horizon Europe grant from the European Commission, worth about EUR 6 million per project, that funds research and pilots helping European water systems adapt to climate-driven floods, droughts and water stress. This topic runs alongside five FARM2FORK sibling topics under the sam…
This call wants projects that improve how Europe monitors, manages and plans around a changing hydrological cycle — floods, droughts, groundwater decline — while balancing water demand across agriculture, energy and drinking supply. It wants cross-border, cross-sector cooperation under the water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus, following a 'source to sea' approach that also protects coastal and marine ecosystems downstream.
