The European Union is strongly supporting regional integration tailored to buildcountry resilience towards climate change driven hazards. This cooperation is developedby launching and implementation of the EU regional strategies. Poland isstrongly involved in realization of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region whileHungary in EU Strategy for the Danube Region. On one hand both regions have theirown problems, however, on the other they face similar challenges due to climatechange phenomena. This argument encourages to learn from each other. One ofthe key problems related to climate change is water management, including floodmanagement and sufficient access to fresh water. Nowadays, southern region ofEurope, like Danube Region including Hungary, is being more and more tackled by limited access to fresh water. This is not the case in central and northern Europeyet. However, the problem can emerge soon in the Baltic Sea Region if the climatechange will be continued. There are already first symptoms of such scenario. Therefore,the main aim of the article is to present the Danube Region and Hungarianexperiences of water management in the context of climate change phenomena.The results constitute a lesson learnt from this region that can be easily adopted tothe current and future challenges of the Baltic Sea Region.
