The principal objective of DeltaNet is to set up a learning and policy network of European delta regions. The issue adressed is ‘developping appropriate coordinated spatial planning measures in geographically sensitive areas’.
The European delta regions are geographically sensitive areas sharing many similar characteristics, problems and challenges. The delta and estuary regions are faced with a dynamic development and are often characterized by both concentration of population and economic activities, and natural and cultural heritage values. The many spatial and economic demands often threaten a sustainable development. Delta regions are becoming a kind of laboratory where different stakeholders, regions and countries are working together to achieve a sustainable spatial, economic and social development.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
