Danube Region

The EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) is a united response to challenges affecting an area that stretches from the Black Forest to the Black Sea, including over 100 million inhabitants. The Strategy provides a framework of cooperation for the region’s 14 countries to address their common challenges from flooding to transport and energy links, environmental protection and challenges to security.

The accompanying Action Plan includes the preparation of a regional Adaptation Strategy for the Danube Region as soon as possible. This effort is supported by a number of specific actions, many of which focus on activities at various river basins in the region. For example in the Sava River Basin a pilot project is ongoing to develop an integrated water resources management and climate adaptation plan for the river basin. The Danube Region will be a new cooperation area in the next INTERREG VB funding period 2014-2020, which may further encourage transnational adaptation-related collaboration as seen in the Alpine and Baltic examples above.
