Ten years of implementing transboundary water management: key lessons and ways forward

BRIDGE - Ten years of implementing transboundary water management: key lessons and ways forward

Why attend

IUCN’s BRIDGE programme has shown that water can be a ‘catalyst’ for cooperation, rather than conflict, and will share its key lessons and successes from work in its 14 transboundary basins worldwide. The session will show how BRIDGE has brought different stakeholders to the table to improve water governance and dialogue across borders.

HideDescription

Over the last 10 years, the Building River Dialogue and Governance (BRIDGE) programme has worked to increase collaboration and encourage good water governance and management in more than fourteen transboundary rivers and lakes worldwide. The programme has throughout these years brought a wide variety of stakeholders to the table to encourage dialogues on new ways to collaborate and share water, often in contexts where conflict has already taken place or is looming. The programmes’ regional coordinators have extensive experience working in transboundary basins, and together with local partners, they will share various case studies, with concrete examples of what has worked, and what hasn't worked, in different regions and political contexts.
