The Blue Deal and the EU Water Resilience Strategy

The article analyzes the transition from the Green Deal to the Blue Deal, pointing to the necessity of recognizing water as an independent strategic priority for the European Union. In the face of the climate crisis, water ceases to be an obvious resource and becomes a key element of security, economic competitiveness, and the EU's strategic autonomy. The author emphasizes the importance of the European Water Resilience Strategy and the shift toward a river basin approach, which replaces rigid administrative boundaries with hydrological logic. The text argues that water is the coupling medium linking agriculture, industry, and public health, and that new regulations will force the economy to take full responsibility for resource extraction and pollution, transforming water management into a systemic conscience of modern economics.
