A nexus approach to transboundary cooperation

Аннотация

Every transboundary river basin or aquifer presents specific management-related challenges, and making a coordinated response to various pressures is beyond the means of water management alone. For example, among the intersectoral challenges that call for coordinated solutions across sectors and borders are: flooding and sedimentation, water scarcity and pollution, unsustainable land use and agricultural practices, suboptimal use of existing infrastructure and impacts of new infrastructure, inefficient use of resources, and degradation of ecosystems and their services.
