Abstract

The global water crisis is spreading worldwide, driven mainly by climate change and several human activities that have altered the global water cycle. Addressing community water interests is becoming increasingly important and a focus area for cross-sectoral public policy planning. To lay the ground for the water policy pillar of the EU Presidency, we first review the history of the emergence of water as a public policy in the UN, EU and Hungarian dimensions and the current strategic situation of the issue. We will examine the general drivers, challenges and opportunities for water policies and further analyse the barriers and bottlenecks to implementation. What are the foreign policy and diplomatic dimensions of water management in Hungary? In six points, we summarise the proposed priorities for the international engagement of Hungarian water diplomacy.
