Key value of EUSDR: Integration

Where are we going?

Climate: limit temperature increase to 2 degrees C Carbon: 80% cut in emissions by 2050 Biodiversity: achieve favorable conservation status Water: good status by 2015 Economy: sustainable, resource efficient by Strategy for Growth: employment, R&D, GHG emissions, education, poverty/social exclusion. EU objectives

Based on a current view, not a future vision. EUSDR objectives

Danube sturgeon © Edward Parker / WWF-Canon

Integrated approach led by PAC6 Involves virtually all PA’s – biodiversity, navigation, water management, risk, law enforcement Draws on expertise of IAD, WWF Danube sturgeon

Floodplains © Edward Parker / WWF-Canon

Major priority for Danube governments Great potential Priority for PA6, PA5 But much more could be done… Floodplain protection, restoration

Inland navigation © Edward Parker / WWF-Canon

Good integrated approach by PAC1a Very positive cooperation with PA6 (Biodiversity) Could be more active e.g. on Sava River Some questionable projects, e.g. Bucuresti canal Positive involvement of EC Need for technical facility to advise projects Inland navigation

© Edward Parker / WWF-Canon Hydropower Integration?

Sectoral focus, limited integration Missing: agriculture, forests PA6 Biodiversity: unique, needed and valuable PA4 Water management: added value vs ICPDR? PA2 Energy: integration? Priority Areas

Communities and civil society have a valuable contribution to make to the EUSDR – but that contribution is not being fully realised. Stakeholder involvement

Get serious about the EUSDR Get serious about integration Focus on the end objective, not current reality Involve and work with local communities, NGOs Recommendations

EUSDR is a journey. We have started and have made some positive steps, but have much to improve, and much more to do. Let‘s move forward. Summary
