  1. Danube Strategy: Question, Challenge Opportunity Andreas Beckmann, Director WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme

  2. Danube-Carpathian Region

  3. Our Challenge Our Global Impact Natural Capital

  4. Fisheries Climate & Energy 75% of fisheries over-fished & faced with commercial extinction 80% reduction in CO2 by 2050 Water Deforestation 2/3 of world population facing water scarcity by 2025 $3-5 trillion in value lost ANNUALY

  5. Where are the Impacts? Food Hols Waste Travel Energy

  6. ‘It takes a new way of thinking to solve the problems that we created by the old way of thinking’

  7. BedZEDAnswering the 3-planet challenge

It is not a forecast of what role different abatement measures and technologies will play. Source: Global GHG Abatement Cost Curve v2.0

  12. “Europe’s Amazon” – The Drava-Mura-Danube Biosphere Reserve 800,000 ha – Europe’s largest riverine protected area

  13. Danube Delta: wetland restoration

  14. Inland navigation

  15. Southern Carpathians Wild Landscape at the Heart of Europe Europe’s Yellowstone 1 million ha of existing protected areas, with coordinated management and marketed as Europe’s premiere nature tourism destination.
