BOOST-IN: Boosting the uptake of innovative solutions in the context of water and circular economy

BOOSTING WATER SOLUTIONS FOR A CIRCULAR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE 

Drought and water scarcity already affect 20 % of Europe’s territory and 30 % of its population. Climate change, tourism, agriculture, and urban growth are intensifying these challenges, threatening energy production, food security, public health, and economic development.

Current linear water management models—based on extracting and disposing of non-renewable water resources—are unsustainable. We must move towards a Water Circular Economy, reusing water and recovering energy, nutrients, and by-products.

BOOST-IN drives an ambitious strategy to promote the uptake of innovative Water Circular Economy Solutions (WACES) by:

• Transferring real-life innovations and practices
• Promoting water reuse and resource recovery
• Supporting mindset and governance change
• Encouraging organisational and policy transformation

All with a focus on Regions of Opportunity (ROp) across Europe.
