IUCN, BRIDGE Launch Publications on Water Diplomacy, Cooperation and Management
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Building River Dialogue and Governance Project (BRIDGE) have launched a series of publications in conjunction with World Water Week and within the framework of the International Year of Water Cooperation.
In support of IUCN's events, BRIDGE has published a brochure outlining its approach to water diplomacy and cooperation. The brochure also outlines projects implemented on the ground, including in the Lake Titicaca basin shared between Bolivia and Peru, and in the Goascorán basin shared between El Salvador and Honduras.
BRIDGE has also developed a series of briefings focused on specific issues relating to water management, cooperation and water governance in transboundary basins, illustrating how institutions build resilience to shocks through taking an ecosystems approach incorporating flexibility, public participation, and multi-layered governance structures.
BRIDGE seeks to build water governance capacities through learning, demonstration, leadership and consensus-building, in particular in transboundary river basins.
