Water Crisis in Moldova: Moldova’s Parliament approved a 60-day state of emergency for the energy and hydrological sectors starting Sept. 26, as the Dniester and Prut face a “severe hydrological deficit” and energy costs keep climbing; officials say inflow to the Novodnistrovsk reservoir has fallen to about 22 m³/s versus a minimum of 60, and the Environment Ministry is preparing faster interventions, including possible limits on non-essential water use. Dniester Monitoring & River Measures: Environment Minister Gheorghe Hajder warned water reserves are now about three times lower than reservoir discharges, and said authorities are removing illegal dams, cleaning and dredging riverbeds, and updating plans for alternative water sources to protect supplies. EU Green Finance Push: A study presented in Montenegro argues Moldova can fund its green transition by expanding investment-ready projects and using tools like green bonds and sustainable funds, noting progress in climate and sustainable finance policy but highlighting ongoing infrastructure and energy-efficiency needs. Frontier AI Oversight: At the UN General Assembly, UN chief António Guterres welcomed a Finland-and-Norway-led “Call for Control of Frontier AI Models,” backed by Moldova among others, urging human oversight, shared standards, and verification mechanisms. Local Environmental Justice Training: Moldova trained judges and prosecutors on integrated environmental permits and liability for environmental damage under EU-aligned rules, including the industrial emissions framework.
