The GLOWACON 2023 international conference highlighted the important role of Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance (WES) as a sentinel system for public health. It showed that WES is not only a cost-effective way to detect epidemic outbreaks early, but it is also essential for tracking the...

The impact of various combinations of land use change, climate change and policy measures on the water-energy-food-environment nexus in the Sava river basin has been evaluated through 170 simulations with the LISFLOOD water resources model for 30- year periods. The LISFLOOD model was first...

This report presents the outcome of a study carried out in the frame of a wider assessment performed with the LUISA (Land Use-based Integrated Sustainability Assessment) modelling platform, configured in compliance with the "EU Energy, Transport and GHG emissions trends until 2050" (EU Energy...

This report explores in detail the land uses that are expected to be in direct competition for land (food, feed and energy) as a result of the EU bioenergy targets and considering the suitability characteristics of the land for these uses. The analysis is carried out per main crop group...

Schools are a key environment to teach children healthy hydration and form long-term positive beverage consumption behaviours. School-based interventions can reach large groups of children of all social classes, and messages learned may be taken home to impact behaviours in the family and...

In order to define the basic elements for harmonisation in the field of drinking water safety and security, existing European standards and directives are presented. A specific focus is made on biological risks. It clearly appears that little information is available for biological monitoring...

The objective of this deliverable is to describe the proposal for the creation of a water security plan (WSecP) at EU level focused on water quality security, and not physical security only, although physical security should be also included. A water security plan has different elements compared...
