Building Environmental Citizenship to Support Transboundary Pollution Reduction in the Danube: A Pilot Project in Hungary and Slovenia

The project's objective is to enable Hungary and Slovenia, two key participants in the Danube Strategic Action Plan (SAP), to operationalize and institutionalize public access to environmental information and public participation measures in support of reducing transboundary pollution from the discharge of nutrients and toxics into the Danube River. At the "global" environmental level, the project will demonstrate how these measures can help Central and Eastern European Countries to achieve the important global environmental goals of the Danube SAP, the Aarhus Convention, and the Danube River Protection Convention signed by Hungary and Slovenia and the other countries of the Danube River Basin. The activities conducted in Hungary and Slovenia will serve as a pilot for future efforts to operationalize public involvement in support of pollution reduction in the Danube in other countries in the Danube River Basin.
