On April 11th, 2025, the European Parliament's focus on environmental sustainability and water resilience took centre stage in Rabat, Malta. MEP Thomas Bajada highlighted the importance of water conservation and resilience amidst the challenges posed by climate change and regional water scarcity. The event, held at Għajn, emphasized both local and international efforts towards improving water management systems.

The forum, led by MEP Bajada, gathered experts, policymakers, and community leaders to discuss how Malta, an island nation, can tackle the growing water crisis. "Water is a fundamental resource, and its preservation and management are central to both our current and future well-being," stated Bajada. He went on to explain the urgent need for Malta to adopt smarter, more sustainable water practices to ensure that the island’s water systems remain robust in the face of rising global temperatures.

During the session, discussions revolved around collaborative solutions that integrate Malta’s traditional water methods with innovative technologies. These efforts are aimed at ensuring a more resilient and sustainable water supply, ensuring that the island can withstand future challenges posed by climate change. The event also served as an opportunity to explore how regional collaborations within the EU can support national strategies on water resilience, a key aspect of broader environmental sustainability goals.

The event underscored the significance of community awareness and the vital role of local efforts in mitigating water-related issues. By adopting forward-thinking approaches and drawing on the strength of European solidarity, Malta aims to not only improve water resilience but also secure a sustainable future for its citizens.

This discussion marks another significant step in EU efforts to address water-related challenges across Europe, ensuring that innovative solutions to water scarcity are actively pursued at both local and European levels.
