HOORC governance researcher Lapo Magole will be participating in the Advanced International Training Programme, Integrated Transboundary Water Resource Management, this coming week in Stockholm, Sweden, presenting a situation analysis of the Okavango River basin.
On a related topic, the Global International Waters Assessment final report was launched at the Ninth Special Session of the UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GMEF) in Dubai in February 2006. Challenges to International Waters; Regional Assessments in a Global Perspective, produced by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), summarises major transboundary concerns and their environmental and socio-economic impacts.
The Global International Waters Assessment (GIWA) is a holistic assessment of the world's transboundary waters that is looking at links between the freshwater and the coastal marine environment and integrating environmental and socio-economic information to determine the impacts of a broad range of influences on the world's aquatic environment.
