Member Briefing: DEFRA White Paper - What does it mean for you?

​Future Water Association is hosting a member-only webinar to provide a clear, practical overview of Defra’s newly published Water White Paper 2026. This landmark policy sets out the Government’s direction for reforming the water sector, with significant implications for regulation, environmental performance, infrastructure investment and long-term resilience.

​The session will highlight the key proposals in the White Paper, examine the alignment with the white paper and Cunliffe's recommendations, explore what they mean in practice for the water community, and provide an opportunity for members to discuss emerging challenges and opportunities.
