Final Declaration of the Annual Meeting of the European Water Movement – Girona 2025.
Defending water as a human right and a common good in the face of deregulation and privatisation in Europe.
As a result of the annual meeting of the European Water Movement (EWM), held in Girona from 5 to 7 December 2025, the participating organisations make public this joint declaration. The text sets out the main concerns, positions and lines of action agreed upon in a European context marked by increasing pressure on water resources, the promotion of deregulation and privatisation policies, and the weakening of environmental protection frameworks, at a key moment in the preparations for the 3rd United Nations World Water Conference (2026).
The declaration reaffirms the movement’s commitment to the defence of water as a fundamental human right and a common good, and to public, democratic, participatory and life-centred governance.
