The 24-hour online event on Friday, 26 November 2021, will take you from Asia to Europe and Africa to the Americas with exciting contributions from around the world. A German-language module on "Lakes and Climate Change" took place from 1 pm.

The online marathon was organised by the Hungarian Lake Balaton Development Coordination Agency (LBDCA) with the support of the Global Nature Fund (GNF) and many other Living Lakes partner organisations.
