At the EU Environment and Energy Councils\u2019 meetings in Luxembourg, Malta reaffirmed its commitment to support EU leadership during COP30 and called for policy to be implemented in a fair and flexible way, as not to place undue burdens on citizens and families.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Minister for the Environment, Energy and Public Cleanliness, Miriam Dalli continued emphasised the need to consider the realities of Island States. \u201cSmall Island States and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have unique geographic, structural, and economic problems that need specific solutions. The EU should show flexibility in recognising just transition pathways that are people-centred tailored to the reality of each situation,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n

During the EU Ministers\u2019 meeting, Malta succeeded in putting a focus on two important aspects: water resilience and a pact focusing on oceans. In this regard the European Water Resilience Strategy presented by the European Commission was a welcome move, particularly since the strategy recognises the problems that islands with water shortages face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater resilience is important for both the environment and national security in Malta.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we support flexibility, stable EU funding, and investment in infrastructure. Continued EU support and new funding ways, such as green bonds, will be important to make sure that vulnerable regions can manage their water in a way that lasts,\u201d the Minister Dalli said.<\/p>\n

Malta welcomed the Ocean Pact as a positive step forward. Minister Miriam Dalli emphasised that effective and fair marine protection must take into account the realities of island states, while also allowing for new ideas and long-term solutions for the blue economy.<\/p>\n
