ICPR – International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine
International river basin commissions ICPR for the Rhine and ICPMS for the Moselle and Saar discuss solutions for current water management challenges in Luxembourg
In 2024, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg hosted the plenary assembly of the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine (ICPR) and the International Commissions for the Protection of the Moselle and the Saar (ICPMS). Both intergovernmental commissions met in Luxembourg City on 5 and 6 December.
New ICPR report on the development of the discharge of the Rhine under the influence of climate change
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, including for water management. Droughts, floods and high water temperatures may have a negative impact on the ecosystem of the Rhine and its tributaries as well as on water usage.
In 2023, the ICPR handed over old files to the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) in Florence in order to have them professionally archived and made accessible to the public.
