Workshop: Nature-Based Solutions Implementation and Policy Recommendations for the Danube and Black Sea Region


We are delighted to invite you to our workshop, focused on discussing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and policy recommendations for the Danube and Black Sea Region. The event is organized by the Association of Danube River Municipalities "Danube" (ADRM), GeoEcoMar, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests from Romania (MEWF), the Executive Agency "Maritime Administration" (EAMA) and Steinbeis Europa Zentrum (SEZ) as EcoDaLLi Partners in collaboration with the DaWetRest project.


Objective

As part of the EcoDaLLi project, ‘Coordination and Support Action’ (CSA) of the Danube and Black Sea Lighthouse, the goal is to develop an integrated approach to support innovators in implementing NBS to protect and restore the basins ecosystem and biodiversity.


To achieve this, the project has developed:

i) A methodology for assessing and implementing NBS in innovative projects,

ii) A best-practice catalogue of NBS along the Danube River, and

iii) Policy recommendations for building an environment conducive to the application of NBS.


This workshop aims to gather feedback from key stakeholders to ensure these tools and recommendations are practical and tailored to local contexts. The DaWetRest project, an ‘Innovation Action’ of the Lighthouse, will present its activities and Demo site near Burgas, showcasing an innovative action for freshwater restoration, as well as its regulatory context.


The workshop will also explore how to adapt these findings, based on a thorough analysis of the Danube River Basin, to the Black Sea and address the following key questions:

  • How can NBS contribute to a more resilient Danube River and Black Sea?
  • How can existing initiatives in both regions collaborate to support NBS?
  • How can citizens, especially youth, engage in NBS implementation?


Event Format

The workshop will be held in-person in English and is organized in the framework of the larger high-level conference “From the Danube source to Black Sea – Healthy Waters and healthy life” on 15th of October at Burgas Free University, Burgas, Bulgaria. Participants are invited to attend this larger event.
