Floods in the Danube River Basin: Flood risk mitigation for people through wetlands restoration
The paper aims to provide background information for political discussions and to shape the political debate towards a more sustainable flood risk management.
Based on the findings of the paper WWF makes a number of recommendations for:
1. EU institutions and other international bodies such as the International
Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR),
2. national governments, in particularly of the new EU Member States
and of the EU Candidate Countries (e.g. Romania and Bulgaria) and
3. insurance companies and individuals.
