Danube River Protection Convention

The Danube River Protection Convention is an international agreement established in 1994 to ensure the sustainable management and environmental health of the Danube River and its basin. Participating countries collaborate to reduce pollution, protect ecosystems, and promote water quality and resource use. The convention fosters coordinated efforts, data sharing, and joint projects to preserve this vital waterway, which flows through multiple countries in Central and Eastern Europe, supporting ecosystems, communities, and economies. Its goal is to safeguard the Danube's ecological integrity while enabling sustainable development across the region.
