9th World Water Forum - Ordinary Session - Promoting peace by developing and implementing legal frameworks for transboundary water resources

22.03.2022 9th World Water Forum - Ordinary Session - Promoting peace by developing and implementing legal frameworks for transboundary water resources
13:30-15:00 Room 4, EXPO, Diamniadio Dakar, Senegal    

Transboundary water cooperation is one of the bedrocks of international security since it has proven spill-over economic and peace benefits beyond the water sector. It is thus important to advance cooperation on shared water resources to promote peace. One of the well-tested and tried ways of advancing water cooperation is through the establishment and implementation of legal frameworks for transboundary water resources. This session is aimed at highlighting the tools and instruments for advancing such cooperation available for policy and decision-makers, including the United Nations global Water Conventions.
