- HAPPENING TOMORROW!

How do we turn transboundary water cooperation into real-world action across the entire land-to-ocean continuum?

As environmental and climate pressures accelerate, managing land, freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems as an interconnected whole is no longer optional - it is critical.

Join the UN Water Convention and IW:LEARN as we present two brand-new guidance publications side-by-side for the very first time. Together, they offer a comprehensive toolkit that pairs strong legal and policy foundations with hands-on, field-tested operational tools to streamline source-to-sea (S2S) management.
