The English edition of the Water Atlas, published by Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, presents the complexity and urgency of global water issues in a visually compelling, accessible format. It provides facts, trends, case studies, and political context to inform public discourse and shape policy. From the unequal distribution of water and industrial pollution to climate-linked water insecurity and geopolitical tensions, the Atlas aims to sharpen understanding and support action toward more sustainable and equitable water governance.

Congratulations to Andrzej Poczobut and Mzia Amaglobeli, journalists from Belarus and Georgia, on winning the 2025 Sakharov Prize.
Their courage is a symbol of the fight for freedom, justice, and democracy.

Europe must step up its security – no longer can we rely fully on the US to defend our values & Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security. No negotiations about Ukraine or European security without the EU.
