Recommendation to the Council, the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union on Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on promoting transnational governance on water in the interests of conflict prevention and peace

2025/2216(INI)·10th term·AFET / DEVE·INI
Summary

This own-initiative report recommends promoting transnational governance of water for conflict prevention and peace. Amendments affirm state sovereignty over natural resources while noting that water scarcity affects nearly half the global population and acts as a risk multiplier and driver of conflict. They cite the weaponisation of water, including the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine by Russia, and the transboundary impacts of Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Project and Ilisu Dam on the Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq and Syria, and the destruction of water infrastructure in Gaza under the EU-Israel Association Agreement. They call for EU funding under the next multiannual financial framework, EEAS engagement, support for the UN Special Envoy on Water, and integrated water resources management under SDG target 6.5.

Plenary votes

7 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
