In Focus: Grants and Other Funding Possibilities International ReSource Award for Sustainable Watershed Management Democracy Commission's Small Grants Program Why Regional Environment Hubs? Around the world, countries are facing new and growing environmental and health challenges, many of which require regional cooperation to solve. Bringing nations together in a region to is the only way to address common environmental problems. Uniting these countries in the face of a common threat can also advance U.S. interests in ways which go far beyond the scope of the environmental issue itself. The Department's commitment to a regional strategy complements our bilateral and multilateral diplomatic environmental efforts. The Hubs, work closely with other USG agencies to support their efforts by raising key issues at the diplomatic level, and with non-governmental organizations on environmental activities within their region. Top of the Page Mission To address transboundary environmental issues, the Department established regional environmental Hubs, located in twelve embassies around the world. The regional environmental officer's role will complement the traditional bilateral Environment Science and Health officers stationed in embassies around the world. Rather than dealing with a single country on environmental and health issues, regional environmental officers will look at transboundary issues from a region-wide perspective. Hubs are engaged with several countries of the region on a particular issue, with the aim of promoting regional environmental cooperation, sharing of environmental data, and adoption of environmentally sound policies that will benefit all countries in the region. Top of the Page Objectives of Budapest Hub In the Budapest Regional Environment Office special attention is given to transboundary water management issues in the Carpathian, Danube, and Sava basins; the environmental component of Balkan reconstruction and emerging regional health isues.
