Transboundary Waters Governance Project, University of British Columbia
This was an international waters global governance project that is examining both fresh water and marine experiences through the identification, collection, analysis, adaptation and replication of beneficial practices found in the legal and institutional frameworks that govern such waters. The objectives were to strengthen and promote multi-country cooperation, and to enhance the transboundary regime development in an eco-systemically sustainable manner. CWRS worked as a consulting partner to this project.
