Together for our European Wetlands

#OnlyTogether, we can implement truly impactful, effective, and bold
natural solutions for our European wetlands. Our coalition makes us:

What we aim for?

We seek to strengthen the impact of the Ramsar Convention at the European level, in particular in national, regional and international policies. We offer our support to policy-makers, managers and members of civil society to develop and implement inclusive and resilient wetland-based solutions to the environmental and climate crisis.

Who We Are?

We are a group of European Regional Initiatives under the Ramsar Convention advocating for wetland conservation, restoration and wise use at the European level.

« As Regional Initiatives under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, we are the operational means to provide effective support for better implementation of the Convention’s objectives and to increase its visibility. The E-CoWet Coalition increases international cooperation at the European level on wetland issues of common interest, involving all relevant stakeholders. We want the voices of the authorities, and those of the people, experts and NGOs to be heard so that Wetland-Based Solutions are implemented for the sake of European wetlands, their nature and the people that depend on them.”

– Chris Rostron, MedWet Coordinator
