Water and climate change

The climate is changing, and our world is in danger.

Around one million animal and plant species are facing extinction. Freshwater species have suffered the greatest decline, falling by 84% since 1970.

France's international strategy for water and sanitation (2020-2030)

Report from the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs

This 2020-2030 strategy is the result of broad, inclusive and participatory consultation by all French water stakeholders. Five colleges of actors were thus mobilized: the State and its public establishments, civil society, local communities and parliamentarians, the private sector as well as institutions of higher education, research and training.

These works revolved around three phases. A diagnosis first made it possible to specify the trends, challenges and international opportunities of French cooperation, as well as to identify good practices, national and international. From this basis was developed a strategic reflection defining the priorities for action and the objectives. The third phase was devoted to determining monitoring and results indicators, as well as defining monitoring and accountability procedures. Each phase was the subject of in-depth discussions within the framework of a concertation conducted within the five colleges of actors.
