Natural Disaster Risk Reduction: Moldova’s Government approved a 2026–2030 disaster risk reduction program, pushing cross-agency work on environment, health, agriculture and food safety, with new risk maps, modernized forecasting and early warning, and added focus on wetlands, soil conservation and drought-adapted farming. Water Security Under Pressure: With the Dniester basin drying, the Dniester Commission cut discharge from 85 to 75 m³/s through August, while the Novodnistrovsk reservoir keeps dropping (112.76 m), triggering hydrological restrictions to protect drinking water. Cross-Border Disaster Prevention: Hîncești and Galați launched an INTERREG NEXT project “Natural Disaster Prevention” (over €1.5m) to buy emergency equipment and install monitoring and early-warning systems. EU Power Stability in Extreme Weather: The European electricity system is stable despite heat and drought, but remains “tight” next week as low water levels and high temperatures reduce generation; coordination and solar output help, storage still matters. Sustainable Mobility in Chisinau: Chisinau joined the CIVITAS European mobility network, aiming to make transport cleaner and safer through SUMP and city planning updates. Investment Rules for Green Projects: Moldova approved a new Investment Law draft with clearer, EU-aligned conditions and a special regime for strategic investments, including “green” investments. Tourism with a Sustainability Lens: A state-backed program will support sustainable tourism products, eco-trails and digital/AI upgrades for destinations. Transport Emissions Cut: DP World completed an intermodal rail pilot from Zeebrugge to Aiud (Romania) for finished vehicles, targeting up to 55% lower CO₂ versus long-haul trucking and onward delivery to Chisinau.
