Current status

Water management in Spain shows disparaties in service quality and coverage .

Croatia

naimelala — 2025-05-06 09:38:43 UTC

In Croatia we plan to plant different species of plants because a diverse forest recovers more easily after a fire because there are more species to survive. By protecting forests and planting new ones, we help to "suction" CO2 from the atmosphere.

Portugal

2025-05-06 09:40:47 UTC

Portugal plans to reduce the number of burned areas, 100000 ha, by reforesting 40000 ha and our goal is to reduce this value to 50% by 2030

Spain

2025-05-06 09:42:02 UTC

Spain currently has 66% electricity from renewables. Challenges in integrating renewable energy into the energy system. Spain need investment in grid infrastructure and energy storage

North Macedonia

2025-05-06 09:43:34 UTC

To save North Macedonia’s forests by 2030 and 2035, we can plant trees (25%), stop illegal logging (20%), and teach people why forests are important (10%). Using better farming (15%), buying safe wood (10%), making strong laws (20%), and getting youth involved (10%) will make a real impact.

North Macedonia

Croatia

2025-05-06 09:47:50 UTC

Water is one of the treasures of Croatia, as we use it for a lot of things, we swim in it, make salt from it, we need it for tourism and we need it to survive. So it is a shame to say that we don't have a lot of drinkable water. We can save water by installing water-saving devices, taking shorter showers and using rainwater for gardens.

Croatia

2025-05-06 09:50:45 UTC

In Croatia people use cars everyday and the traffic is making everyone crazy. The gas from the car is ruining nature and polluting air. Croatia needs to encourige people to take public transportation. Then we will use less gas while still getting to our destination. Also people are seeing the problem and are already trying to find solutions. They started to buy electronic cars and are using bikes more often.

Portugal

2025-05-06 09:51:04 UTC

In Portugal one of the areas that uses the most water is the farming and agriculture area. We thought about some kind of solutions like starting to use drip irrigation or micro-sprinkles. We also can irrigate during low evaporation periods, like night or early mornings, select drought-resistant crops and use soil moisture sensors and monitoring systems to optimize irrigation.

Greece

Greece , a country known for its stunning landscapes and Mediterranean climate, faces significant challenges related to water conservation due to its semi-arid conditions , growing population,and the increasing impact of climate change. Protection of natural water sources preserving Greece's natural freshwater resources such as lakes,rivers and aquifers is essential for long-term water security. Strict regulations must be enforced to prevent over-extraction,pollution and illegal water use Protecting wetlands,forests and watersheds also helps maintain the natural water cycle and biodiversity,contributing to a healthier environment.Water conservation is not just a necessity but a shared responsibility in the fight against climate change. By implementing these measures , Greece can secure its water future , reduce the strain on its natural resources, and help mitigate the broader impacts of climate change. It is imperative that individuals,communities, businesses,and policymakers work together to create a sustainable,water-conscious society for generations to come

North Macedonia

To reduce waste in North Macedonia by 2030 and 2035, we need to cut single-use plastics (25%), improve recycling systems (20%), and educate people about waste reduction (10%). Supporting sustainable products (15%), composting organic waste (10%), enforcing waste laws (10%), and involving youth and communities (10%) can make a big and lasting difference.

Greece

2025-05-06 09:58:22 UTC

In Greece waste managment is quite a problem as no one cares about how to reduce or manage the trash that our contry has. We can solve this problem by reducing single use plastics and develop ways to turn waste to energy.

Croatia

2025-05-06 10:00:24 UTC

To reduce waste Croatia plans to close old landfills and building waste management centers because landfills are a big source of methane-they need to be closed and replaced with modern sorting and recycling centers.

Portugal

2025-05-06 10:03:56 UTC

To date, only 39% of our waste is being recycled and this percentage suggests that there is much to be done to introduce better waste management.

By 2030 we strive to make recycling 55% and landfill less than 10%. This will take a united effort: investing in improved recycling infrastructure, educating the public and urging people and businesses to reduce, reuse and recycle. With commitment and innovation, we can build a cleaner, more sustainable future for everyone.
