Like many European rivers, the Danube has become congested and ecologically degraded, largely as a result of human interventions such as dam‑building.

Looking to reverse course and in line with the EU’s Restore Our Ocean and Waters Mission, DANUBE4all is focused on restoring the river’s free-flowing status. Bringing together river stakeholders, policymakers and citizens, the project launched an unprecedented co-creation process. The end goal is to substantially boost the Danube River basin’s ecological status, protect its biodiversity, reduce the risk of flooding and droughts, and reconnect this once vibrant river to the surrounding ecosystem.
