International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR)

The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) is a coalition of countries along the Danube River dedicated to safeguarding its water quality and ecosystems. It coordinates efforts to reduce pollution, manage water resources sustainably, and respond to environmental challenges. By encouraging cooperation among 14 Danube nations, the ICPDR aims to ensure the river remains healthy for future generations, supporting biodiversity, clean drinking water, and economic activities like shipping and tourism. Through shared policies and robust data management, it promotes sustainable, transboundary stewardship of this vital European waterway.
