Transboundary Waters

Cooperation and conflicts across borders on water issues present major challenges and opportunities to countries and other stakeholders seeking to manage freshwater resources.

More information on the UN-Water Task Force on Transboundary Waters, chaired by UNECE and UNESCO, can be found here.
