Water-agriculture-energy-ecosystems nexus - a scientific programme to support the EU Danube Region Strategy

摘要

The European Commission - at the request of the European Council - proposed a European Union Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) in December 2010. The strategy was developed jointly with countries and stakeholders in the Danube region. The objective of this macro-regional strategy is to tackle the challenges and priorities of the Danube region in an integrated way, leading to concrete results and a better future for the region and its citizens. The strategy aims to develop into a durable cooperation framework, allowing policy makers to improve their cooperation and thus increase the effectiveness of policies at EU, national and local levels. The EC endorsed the EUSDR in June 2011. This is the second EU macro-regional strategy, after the EU strategy for the Baltic Sea region.
