GOVAQUA identifies, assesses, develops and validates innovative governance instruments and approaches to support and accelerate a transition towards sustainable and equitable water use in Europe. Such a transition is urgently required to reconcile water uses and environmental needs and to reach the aims of the EU WFD, the Green Deal and the UN SDGs. By adopting an inter- and transdisciplinary methodology that combines case studies with living labs, the highly skilled GOVAQUA team will systematically analyse and compare existing water governance systems across Europe, focusing on water use and its impacts in agriculture, industries, energy production, water utilities and the role of citizens. GOVAQUA conceptualises for the first time sustainability transition in water governance, and creates associated criteria and indicators for its assessment. In order to respond to systemic development needs for the transition, the project covers niche governance innovations in 1) legislation and regulation, 2) multi-stakeholder participation and collaboration, 3) economics and finance, and 4) digital solutions for information sharing. Good practices related to them are systematically reviewed, analysed and compared, and further co-developed, assessed and validated with key stakeholders in real-world action situations of six living labs in river basins, sub-basins or catchments in France, Finland, Spain, the UK and Romania, and transnationally between Finland and Sweden. GOVAQUA delivers new knowledge, participatory tools and good practice guidelines laying out pathways towards sustainable and equitable water future. The project results will be disseminated in a strategic and targeted manner to EU and Member State policy makers and officials, European river basin management community, water and water using sectors, NGOs and water governance expert organisations, and communicated to empower citizens in the consortium partner countries and beyond

该机构确定、评估、开发和验证创新的治理工具和方法，以支持和加速欧洲向可持续和公平用水的过渡。为了协调用水和环境需求，实现欧盟世界粮食计划署、绿色协议和联合国可持续发展目标的目标，迫切需要这种过渡。通过采用跨学科的方法，将案例研究与生活实验室相结合，高技能的GOVAQUA团队将系统地分析和比较欧洲现有的水治理系统，重点关注水的使用及其对农业、工业、能源生产、水公用事业和公民角色的影响。GOVAQUA首次将水治理的可持续性转变概念化，并为其评估制定了相关标准和指标。为了响应转型的系统性发展需求，该项目涵盖了以下领域的治理创新：1)立法和监管；2)多方利益相关者参与和协作；3)经济和金融；4)信息共享的数字解决方案。系统地审查、分析和比较与它们相关的良好做法，并在法国、芬兰、西班牙、英国和罗马尼亚以及芬兰和瑞典之间跨国的河流流域、子流域或集水区的六个活体实验室的实际行动情况中与主要利益攸关方进一步共同开发、评估和验证。GOVAQUA提供新知识、参与性工具和良好实践准则，为实现可持续和公平的水资源未来指明道路。项目结果将以战略和有针对性的方式传播给欧盟和成员国的决策者和官员、欧洲流域管理社区、水和用水部门、非政府组织和水治理专家组织，并传达给财团伙伴国和其他国家的公民
