The First International Environment Forum for Basin Organizations will convene in Nairobi, Kenya, from 26-28 November 2014. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is organizing the forum in cooperation with the International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO) to strengthen the transboundary governance of freshwater resources and ensure their sustainability. 

 

The event aims to bring together managers of river basin organizations, international financial institutions, secretariats of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) and UN agencies to share their experiences regarding the implementation of environmental obligations and management of trade-offs concerning the care and utilization of rivers, lakes, aquifers, wetlands and other water bodies, their associated habitats and ecosystems. The Forum takes place following the entry into force of the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses in August 2014. 

 

The forum will discuss themes of water quality and ecosystem health, the water-energy-food nexus and adaptation to climate change, environmental laws and regulations, and institutional challenges. 

 

Funding for coverage of this meeting provided by UNEP DELC
