To better understand real needs on the ground, D-CLEAN collected input from almost 200 stakeholders across the region, including municipalities, water utilities, public authorities, researchers and technical experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results highlight common challenges such as ageing infrastructure, limited investment, governance gaps and the need for more practical support in applying sustainable and nature-based solutions. These findings will directly inform D-CLEAN\u2019s pilot activities, capacity-building actions, decision-support tools, roadmaps and policy recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
