The European Union (EU) Delegation to Libya reaffirmed its commitment to supporting access to clean water for all Libyans, describing it as a fundamental right and a cornerstone of environmental health.
Under the slogan “A Clean Environment Begins with Clean Water,” the EU highlighted its ongoing efforts to rehabilitate vital water systems across several regions in Libya, particularly in the towns of Ubari, Murzuq, and Kufra. These initiatives are part of EU-funded programs that aim to restore safe and reliable access to water, which is critical to improving public health and overall well-being.
In a statement marking World Environment Day, the EU Delegation said: “On World Environment Day, we support the right to clean water for every Libyan. Europe and Libya—a partnership of opportunity.”
The EU’s focus on water access comes amid mounting challenges in Libya’s infrastructure due to years of conflict, neglect, and climate-related pressures. Many areas in southern Libya face chronic shortages, while damaged water networks have left communities vulnerable to disease and water insecurity.
By investing in the restoration of water infrastructure, the EU says it hopes to contribute to long-term stability and development in underserved Libyan towns, while reaffirming its role as a partner in supporting sustainable solutions.
