In this contribution we quantify the potential to reduce the discharge of excess nutrients with European wastewater, by modelling pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and the costs of measures under various scenarios...

Food systems are the largest users of land and water resources worldwide. Using a multi-model approach to track food through the global trade network, we calculated...

Food consumption is responsible for most global water consumption and associated environmental consequences. Therefore, quantifying and monitoring the water footprint (WF) of food consumption patterns is relevant...

Carbon dioxide emissions from boreal forest fires have been increasing since at least the year 2000, reaching a new high in 2021, Zheng et al. report...

The Gateway to the Future of the Mediterranean explains the interplay between water, energy, food and the ecosystems in the region. Compelling illustrations and graphics employing a companion app give access to new...

The workshop on ‘Water in the Circular Economy policy development‘ is a joint event of Water Europe (WE), EASME and NextGen organised in the frame of Water Knowledge Europe 2021 (WKE2021)...

Nature-based solutions may be cost-effective in addressing water management issues in agriculture. Treatment wetlands enable the removal of excess nutrients from manure in areas with limitations to fertilizers...

This report documents the criteria proposed to map the favourability to investments in nature-based solutions (NBS) for agricultural water management, the costs and effectiveness of various types of NBS. We address...

In this contribution, we propose a quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater collection, treatment and discharge in Europe, taking into account the use of electricity and reagents, construction of the infrastructure...

The Horizon 2020 project NextGen aims to boost sustainability and bring new market dynamics throughout the water cycle in its 10 demo cases and beyond. The project...
