New territorial dimensions in
a global approach to river basin management
The workshop aims to
discuss the inclusion of new territorial dimensions derived from
a broader understanding of the transboundary nature of the water
resources contained in a river basin or groundwater system
(upstream and downstream), with an interdisciplinary approach
and promoting a joint working space and debate among
practitioners both from the spatial planning and the water
management sides.
Topics to be addressed by invited key-speakers, in order to
launch the debate and work in groups , include:
Land use change and impacts on water resources
Upstream-downstream-coastal integrated approaches
Institutional and organizational challenges for
transboundary water governance
The worshop will be based on a ‘co-learning‘ approach,
built upon the participants’ experience and knowledge, and
includes a small ‘world-café’ session around the 3 topics to
be discussed. This will allow all the participants to share
their visions and opinions, based on their own experience. A
set of final conclusions and recommendations for practice
and policy will be produced and reported during the
Conference.
