Water Across Borders: Integrated Water Resources Management for Climate Resilience

About this event

Climate change is increasing pressure on freshwater resources through more frequent droughts and floods, changing precipitation patterns and growing competition among water users. These challenges are particularly complex in transboundary basins, where effective water management depends on cooperation between countries as well as integrated national planning. The event will examine how Integrated Water Resources Management can connect water allocation, ecosystem protection, agriculture, energy, urban development and disaster-risk management. Particular attention will be given to international cooperation on shared water resources, joint monitoring and data exchange, basin-level planning, early warning and climate adaptation. Drawing on regional and international experience, the discussion will focus on practical mechanisms that can move water management from fragmented approaches toward coordinated, basin-based and climate-resilient implementation. To strengthen dialogue on integrated and transboundary water management, showcase practical cooperation mechanisms, and identify ways to improve joint monitoring, data exchange, basin planning and climate adaptation for shared water resources.
