L’océan commence dans les terres !

Un supplément pour reconnecter territoires, citoyens et décideurs au grand cycle de l’eau

Le 28 mai 2025, Sparknews et 53 titres de la presse quotidienne régionale publieront un nouveau numéro de « En Quête de Demain », un supplément de 16 pages dédié à un enjeu essentiel mais souvent invisible : la préservation du grand cycle de l’eau, des glaciers aux océans.

Alors que la France a déclaré 2025 « Année de la Mer » et que Nice accueillera la 3ème Conférence des Nations Unies sur l’Océan en juin, ce dossier vise à mettre en lumière, décrypter, mais surtout valoriser les solutions territoriales déjà à l’œuvre pour faire face aux multiples pressions exercées sur les eaux marines et terrestres – raréfaction, pollution, artificialisation, élévation du niveau des mers.

L’eau, un lien à retisser

Dans un contexte de dérèglement climatique rapide, les enjeux liés à l’eau concernent tous les territoires. Lacs, nappes, rivières, zones humides et océans sont interdépendants. Leur protection engage des choix d’aménagement, de gouvernance, de solidarité entre usagers, mais aussi une transformation profonde de nos rapports au vivant.

Un outil pour diffuser et amplifier les solutions

Ce supplément s’inscrit dans une dynamique commune de capitalisation et de diffusion des bonnes pratiques, pour permettre à chaque territoire d’accélérer sa transition écologique et sociale en matière de gestion de l’eau.

Le supplément met en lumière des projets concrets et réplicables – portés par des collectivités, des associations, des entreprises et des chercheurs –  à l’échelle locale : renaturation de rivières, désimperméabilisation, adaptation du bâti, gouvernance multi-acteurs, réutilisation des eaux usées…

Collectivités, entreprises, experts : rejoignez la démarche !

Ensemble, faisons de 2025 une année d’actions concrètes pour l’eau, au service de territoires sobres, résilients, inclusifs et créatifs.

Les membres et partenaires de France vills et territoires Durables sont invités à :

  • Relayer le supplément dans leurs réseaux (élus, techniciens, partenaires locaux)  ;
  • Partager leurs propres initiatives en matière de gestion durable de l’eau ;
  • Utiliser le kit de communication mis à disposition pour mobiliser à l’échelle locale.
