Vienna, 30th June 2021 - Around 130 experts, stakeholders and members of the public were able to #HaveTheirSay about the 2021 updates of the Danube River Basin and Flood Risk Management Plans in the workshop "Our Opinion – Our Danube" which has just taken place.
The workshop is a key event for the update by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) to its management plans and gives Danubian citizens a unique opportunity to contribute to the six-year plans.

VIENNA, 29 June – For Danube Day 2021 once again we are inviting more than eighty million people in the 14 Danube countries to celebrate the day, learn about the waters, experience the river, and #DiscoverDanube. Events will be held partially online this year with only a small number of outdoor events taking place.

Stockholm, 21 August 2011. The “World Water Week” is taking place in Stockholm, Sweden, from August 21 to 27. The event, which is held annually since 1991, is organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).

The Prut River Basin comes into focus this year with greater attention from
Ukraine’s ICPDR Presidency and the three Prut countries working together to
create a sub-basin plan for the second-longest tributary of the Danube.

With the new sub-basin management plan for the Tisza, the Tisza Group and the
countries of the Tisza River Basin have achieved significant progress and an outstanding
example of cooperation.

Nature and time combine in one of the
most beautiful national parks in Europe
with one of the oldest geologic histories.
The unique biodiversity of the area
shares space with the permanent relics
of eight thousand years of culture
along the Danube.

A new activity to develop the technical
guidelines for the establishment of an
inventory on discharges, emissions and
losses proposes to put the Danube in
the spotlight as a case study for priority
substances.

Partners throughout Danube countries are working together for the same
shared concern and outcome: a stakeholder-oriented flood risk assessment for
the Danube floodplains.
