Deltas & Wetlands – 28th International Scientific Symposium
by GIZ/EUKI,
Vom 13. bis 18. September 2021 kamen 500 Vertreter*innen aus Wissenschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und der Privatwirtschaft für die 28. Ausgabe des Internationalen Wissenschaftssymposiums „Deltas & Feuchtgebiete“ in Rumänien und über Videokonferenzplattformen zusammen.
Die vom Nationalen Donautal-Institut für Forschung und Entwicklung (DDNI) organisierte fünftägige Veranstaltung bot eine Reihe an Plenarvorträgen, Workshops und Diskussionen über die neuesten Errungenschaften für das Biosphärenreservat Donaudelta und andere Feuchtgebiete. Als Teil des Symposiums wurde das EUKI finanzierte Projekt EDAPHIC BLOOM DANUBE vorgestellt. Das Projekt reduziert die Treibhausgasemissionen im rumänischen Donaudelta.
Environmental Association, the event featured five days of plenary lectures and various events on new research approaches to climate change mitigation in the EU as well as other topics such as biodiversity assessment or aquatic ecology. At roundtables, debates were held on the opportunities for fish recolonization as well as desilting vs. renaturation in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. All the scientific papers resulting from the symposium will be published in the “Deltas and Wetlands” book of abstracts.
During the “Green Deal Challenges – Decarbonising Danube Delta: 3D Initiative” workshop, DDNI presented the EUKI-funded ‘EDAPHIC BLOOM DANUBE’ project to the international audience. The project mitigates greenhouse gas emissions in Romania’s Danube Delta by conserving organic soils and enhancing energy efficiency in buildings. Click here, to read more about EDAPHIC BLOOM DANUBE.
The hybrid event was attended by around 500 representatives of central, regional and local authorities, academia (research institutes and universities) and the private sector (SMEs and NGOs) from Romania and 17 other countries.
EUKI implementer DDNI holds the yearly event to scientifically support the management of one of the largest wetlands in Europe, the Danube Delta. Rich in tradition, the symposium provides an opportunity to identify and discuss scientific aspects related to the implementation of European environmental directives at the national level, as well as in the context of transboundary and interregional cooperation.
