💧right2water is still pending after 12 years of promises.

EPSU welcomes new hygiene rules by the European Commission - but we need further legislation to ensure everyone has access to sufficient, safe and affordable water.

This is what the #RightToWater means to us.

💦Water is life! Without it, we cannot survive.

On the #HumanRightsDay , we mark the 🔟 years of right2water with a new report.

🫧Water is not a weapon of war - it's a fundamental right! People's right2water is not a target!

'Israel must allow clean water and fuel into Gaza to activate the water supply network and desalination plants', says Pedro Arrojo Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur👇🏾

'Access to #water and #sanitation is a #HumanRight , but 30% of the EU population is affected by water stress. Water poverty is an issue, with 450,000 people without proprer drinking water access in Europe. It's high time to address this'

Giulia Barbucci #EESCPlenary #EUBlueDeal

'What was taken for granted is now on question, with shortages all around the world. Citizens have said loud and clear they want the right to water ensured, that it must be protected as a #CommonGood , that is not a commodity'

Thomas Kattnig #EESCplenary #EUBlueDeal

'The European Economic and Social Committee must indeed be at the forefront of this fight for #Water . And the #HumanRights approach is the right one, to make the #EUBlueDeal a reality soon'

Luca Luca Studničná🇪🇺🇨🇿 #EESCplenary debate

'Specific transparent prices for vulnerable groups, water and social conditionalities and a common definition of water poverty, since the water crisis knows no border nor solidarity'

'We must consider it a #CommonGood , as a goal, rather than a public good correction. It must be participatory, with knowledge-sharing in #IP , access for all, and accountability'

Mariana Mazzucato Global Commission on the Economics of Water #EUBlueDeal

'Water should be considered a common good: belonging to all, but not to be owned by anyone. The Human Right to water should not have been left to MS in the #Water Directive, but at least some member states have already recognised it'

Pedro Arrojo Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur UN-Water #EESCplenary #EUBlueDeal

We are here today European Economic and Social Committee plenary to listen to the launch of the #EUBluedeal to discuss about #water #ClimateEmergency #sanitation and more....

'We must make peace with our rivers and #water ecosystems. And we must fight for a #democratic water governance in search of the common good.

Sustainability is key for the future. From resource to ecosystem perspective to tackle #ClimateChange '

Pedro Arrojo Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur UN-Water #EESCplenary

💯It's easier to do than to pronounce!

This week's #LabourDictionary entry is #remunicipalisation .

👉🏾The delivery of vital public services such as water, health, education, energy, waste and care must be in public hands.

Let's take back what's ours.

🌊 We’re talking EU Blue Deal with AK Europa, ÖGB Europabüro and younion_at tonight!

The Blue Deal needs to
👉recognise water as a fundamental public good
👉reject liberalisation
👉give a voice to workers
