What we do

In order to improve the quality of environmental risk management in the Volga basin, the project will produce a number of tangible outputs:

Self-standing project documents based on:

• expert discussions in the expert groups; and

• materials and reports provided by participants and project partners.
  

Established networks of experts and stakeholders including:

• at the national level, networks of interest groups within the Volga basin; and

• at the international level, networks that exchange experience between Europe and Russia/NIS
  

Operational tools, such as:

• this website as a knowledge pool and contact database;

• CABRI-Volga newsletters and press statements;

• publications containing project materials and results; and

• policy briefs in Russian and English
  

Concrete proposals that build on existing initiatives to strengthen coordination mechanisms along the basin, such as:

• the establishment of the Volga Basin Council;

• the establishment of a State Fund for the Protection of Small Rivers in the Volga Basin; and

• the establishment of a national committee for the International Human Dimension Programme on Global Environmental Change
  

Together, these outputs form a complementary set of references, practices and tools that will contribute to the achievement of the project’s strategic objectives.
