Water governance determines how we as individuals and as a society manage, use and allocate resources and distribute services.

Regional cooperation on transboundary waters is a public good that benefits all parties and can open new opportunities for riparian states to sustainably develop water resources.

The impacts of climate change are felt through water. Climate-driven changes to the hydrological cycle will increase the force of rainfall, reduce the reliability of monsoons, prolong droughts in semi-arid regions and reduce water storage in snow and ice.
