The overarching ambition of DANUBE4all is the development of a strategic Danube Basin Restoration Action Plan (DBRAP).

This plan will be scientifically based, practically orientated, and will be the result of a unique scientific, social and economic based collaboration that aims to integrate the following objectives:

Ecological status and biodiversity improvement and ecosystem connectivity

Flood and drought risk reduction

Enhancement of sediment continuity

Economic interests

Inhabitants’ interests and Citizen Science

Thus, DANUBE4all seeks to integrate action on these environmental concerns with social and economic wellbeing; embracing a science-to-people approach that actively integrates public interests and empowers all Danube stakeholders.

The success of basin-wide fresh and transitional water restoration programmes is strongly dependent on the involvement of citizens, local communities, businesses and other stakeholders, such as public bodies and policy makers.
