Project description

Considering the natural link between water, wetlands and biodiversity, together with the degradation of transboundary watercourse ecosystems and water scarcity, this research aims to clarify the applicable legal framework for the protection of transboundary watercourse ecosystems, with a focus on the global and regional water agreements, the Convention on Biodiversity and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
