GEF International Waters Science Conference

A science conference for practitioners and academics to provide leadership in finding solutions for the
Earth’s most pressing Transboundary waters challenges

Twenty years of GEF International Waters (IW) projects have resulted in a wealth of knowledge. Much of the science used and generated during the projects is embedded in Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses (TDAs). The recent three year study under the GEF UNEP-UNU IW:Science project has uncovered some of the key findings and success factors in enhancing the use of science in GEF IW projects. The International Waters Science Conference will provide a key forum for bringing these findings to a wider audience. Benefiting from lessons learned can significantly support new and ongoing projects in achieving better results.
