Achieving functional biodiversity in the Danube-Carpathian Region by mainstreaming ecological connectivity - SIDE EVENT within the 11th the EU Strategy for the Danube Region Annual Forum
Over the past decades, human development in the Danube-Carpathian region has had its toll on nature. With a more integrated way of planning and political will, people and nature can thrive. This is why the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) “Water Quality” Priority Area (PA) 4, “Environmental Risks” PA 5, “Biodiversity, Landscapes, Quality of Air and Soils” PA 6, Carpathian Convention, ICPDR endorsed the Joint Declaration “Achieving functional biodiversity in the Danube-Carpathian Region by mainstreaming ecological connectivity” of July 2022, committing themselves to action.
The Side Event, to be held on 18 October 2022 at 10:00, within the 11th EUSDR Annual Forum, will explain why wildlife connectivity is important for people and nature, how it can be safeguarded with the support of regional bodies, and how this links to EU policies. It will then provide space for policy and decision-makers to respond to the call for support in the shape of a panel discussion, which will be opened to the audience.
