Learning Resilience: Lessons for Managing Global Transboundary Water Vulnerabilities

Transboundary water cooperation and effective water governance are essential to ensuring global security, economic development, and environmental sustainability. The AccelNet PEER2PEER project, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, brings together global networks focusing on issues related to furthering transboundary water management. The project creates an ecosystem for translating engineering, physical science, and social science research into plans and policies for adoption by stakeholders and governments at local, state or regional, national, and international levels. In order to explore water management ideas that can be applied on the local through trans-national levels to achieve resilience in the face of climate change and other vulnerabilities, a workshop was convened on June 24-25, 2024, in Irvine, California. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief provides a high-level summary of key discussions held during the workshop.
