Interactive Online Session: Does the design of a Transboundary Water Agreement matter?

The Transboundary Freshwater Security Governance Train continues its journey in 2022 on 16 February, with its 10th interactive session in the series. This time, the event explores how the design of Transboundary Water Agreements affects their performance and whether there are key ingredients that should structure these agreements.

The aim of the online session is to explore the importance of design in the development and implementation of agreements and other arrangements on transboundary waters. Through an introduction to the Practical Guide for the Development of Agreements or Other Arrangements for Transboundary Water Cooperation the session will explore whether there are key ingredients that should structure these agreements and other arrangements. Additionally, the session will consider how design might affect an agreement’s performance and how the Practical Guide can help in drafting new or improve existing transboundary water agreements.

The session will feature speakers with different experiences discussing the following topics:

• Does the design of a Transboundary Water Agreement matter? And if so, how does design affect an agreement’s performance?
• How can the Practical Guide for the Development of Agreements or Other Arrangements for Transboundary Water Cooperation (UNECE 2021) help in drafting new or improving existing transboundary water agreements?
• Are there certain key ingredients that should structure Transboundary Water Agreements and other arrangements?
