Introduction
The main objective of this report is to identify NBS that are relevant for improving water quality in the Black Sea. Beyond cataloguing case studies, this complex issue also requires broader consideration.
Why NBS?
Nature-based Solutions offer a scalable and sustainable approach to improving water quality in vast regions like the Black Sea. Alongside better policy enforcement, they present a promising way to address this challenge.
Black Sea Drainage Basin
The Black Sea, with a vast drainage basin exceeding 2 million km2, collects water from nearly all European countries except the westernmost ones, notably receiving significant river discharge from the Danube River and Ukrainian rivers such as the
Stakeholder Engagement
The Black Sea Region (BSR), encompassing numerous countries, presents a vast and complex landscape.
Pollution Stream Diagnostics
The World Bank’s Blueing the Black Sea (BBSEA) Program has published a regional diagnostic study of pollution in the Black Sea, which extensively covers the basin’s water quality challenges (World Bank, 2024).
Rivers
Understanding annual river discharges is essential for diagnosing issues for implementing targeted solutions.
